Download Ghosts of Manhattan: A Novel AudioBook Free
A wryly comic, first-person debut book offering a withering view of life on Wall membrane Streets from the point of view of an miserable insider who's too hooked on the money to find a way out, even as his profession is ruining his relationship and corroding his soul. It's 2005. Nick Farmer is a 35-year-old connection trader with Keep Stearns clearing seven figures a year. The novelty of your work-related nightlife centering on liquor, hookers, and cocaine has long since worn skinny, though Nick remains keenly dependent on his annual benefit. However the lifestyle is going for a toll on his relationship and on him. Whenever a nerdy analyst approaches him with apocalyptic prognostications of where Bear's high-flying mortgage-backed securities trading may lead, Nick is offered the type of ethical issue he's spent an eternity avoiding. Toss in a hot financial journalist who seems to be more thinking about him than in the percolating financial armageddon and the chance that his own wife may have found a new charming interest of her own, and you have the formula for Nick's personal and professional implosion. By turns hilarious and harrowing, Spirits of Manhattan comes after an absolute but flawed personality as he battles to find the right journey in an elaborate urban heart of darkness.
