One night. One trade. One phone call that changes everything.
It starts as a favor.
Cole Ritter isn't supposed to be here. A colleague calls in sick, the Asia session is supposed to be quiet, and Cole is supposed to be home. Instead he's at a desk that isn't his, running a book he didn't build, watching a yen chart that's moving wrong.
By midnight, he's the largest overnight position his firm has run in three years.
By 2 AM, he's broken protocol twice.
By 3 AM, his wife has told him she's leaving.
OVERNIGHT is a financial thriller compressed into a single sleepless night - one trader, one major market event, and twelve hours of decisions that can't be taken back. Set against a sudden Bank of Japan emergency rate hike that sends the yen into freefall, the novel tracks Cole's escalating risk-taking in real time: the limit conversations with his risk manager, the reads that pay off, the calls he doesn't make, and the moment when a position this large stops feeling like a trade and starts feeling like the only thing keeping him together.
The night costs him more than he expected.
The question is whether he knew that going in.
For readers of Liar's Poker, the films Margin Call and Arbitrage, and anyone who has ever chosen work over something they can't get back.
