An absolute riot... Lefferts's wry examination of the societal and economic shifts that led to the once unthinkable hits incredibly close to home. --Vanity Fair

Alistair McCabe arrives in New York with a plan. Young, handsome, intelligent, and gay, he hopes to escape his Rust Belt poverty and give his mother a better life by pursuing a career in high finance.

But by the spring of 2016, Alistair's plan has completely come undone:

  • Mired in student debt, his dream investment banking career has eluded him.
  • Desperate for a way out, he enters the orbit of an enigmatic billionaire whose true ambitions turn out to be far darker than Alistair could have ever imagined.
A searing debut about a striving finance student, the fine line between ambition and greed, and the disordered politics of our era, Ways and Means is a propulsive literary thriller about money, power, and the cost of American success.

Praise for Ways and Means

An auspicious debut . . . a wildly entertaining drama of ambition and consequence. --Wall Street Journal
