For Fans of Jess Walter and Gary Shteyngart, a Breezy Thriller Set in Geneva, Switzerland, Featuring Three Wealth Managers who Must Put their Lopsided Love Triangle Aside to Snare Perpetrators of Financial Crimes.
In the lush world banking capital of Geneva, Switzerland, three old friends from Harvard Business School find their lives and their work unexpectedly intertwined. Catherine and Majid are handling investments for clients with dubious pedigrees. When troubled investments are "fixed" by murders and bombs, they come to realize that their clients are Mafiosi and terrorists, but by then they are accomplices, under threat, and have no easy way to extricate themselves. When their friend Rafe, now an undercover agent with the U.S. Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence after a moral awakening of his own-shows up in Geneva, he claims to be just another start-up hedge fund manager. But Rafe is secretly investigating his old friends, one of whom was his former lover. Catherine is seeing Majid and sleeping with Rafe again while her biggest client appears to be leading her into a trap of co-conspiracy. Majid is jealous of Rafe, but he's got bigger fish to fry when he realizes his biggest client shorted a Nigerian oil company stock right before causing a catastrophic "accident." Innocent lives are lost and the body count is mounting. As the CIA closes in on the terrorists themselves, Rafe, with the help of a Nigerian police officer, Detective Okoro, works to find a way to save his friends and the world at the same time.
Fast-paced, entertaining, witty, and fun, “Wealth Management” shows that Emmy award-winning TV writer Edward Zuckerman is at the top of his game.
