From the New York Times–bestselling author, a novel of fast and loose trading, of stocks as well as sexual partners, following a power broker's greed. David Shea, a high-powered Wall Street investment banker, has a past that won't be denied. As a teen, he led a group of four friends to beat a local bully to death and let someone else take the rap. David has managed to avoid every bad break, but in a life of big money payoffs, potentially lethal pitfalls, and legal wrangling, fate is bound to get the upper hand at least once.
