Inhaltsangabe

Legendary investor Vernon Albright is the founding partner of Parthenon Capital, a mega hedge fund that invests for some of the world’s wealthiest people. Albright, a billionaire himself, owes his success not just to investment acumen but also to his relationship with shadowy oilman Buck Hendricks. After an unauthorized trade went horribly wrong, and fearful of having to swap his pinstripes for prison stripes, Albright cut a deal with Hendricks that would have made Faust blush, ceding behind the scenes control Parthenon in exchange for a financial lifeline. Although Hendricks’ overbearing character is becoming intolerable for Albright, his “insights” into the energy markets have led to substantial trading profits for Parthenon making it difficult to walk away. Jeremy Cranford, Albright’s younger partner and his moral antithesis is the only person standing in the way of the scheme’s continued success. Conflict, suspense and danger abound as Cranford surreptitiously seeks the truth about Hendricks and Albright. As Cranford delves deeper into the mystery, his concerns become more than financial: someone is threatening to kill him and his family; his best friend, whom he recruited into the firm, has been murdered; he is being stalked by a psychotic day trader who blames Cranford for the losses that caused his family to walk out on him; and, if his suspicions are confirmed, as a partner in the firm he will be equally culpable in the eyes of the law. UNHEDGED is a fast-moving thriller set in a seductive world of incredible wealth. Topical and all too realistic, it provides an inside look at the firms that control Wall Street, serving up more than enough twists and turns to keep the reader, regardless of background, emotionally enthralled. Hedge fund veteran Stephen L. Weiss is just the right person to take you on this incredible journey.
