No-one knows the dark side of “The Street” much better than master storyteller Stephen Frey, writer of such riveting novels as Shadow Account and YOUR DAY Trader. Now, in his most ambitious work up to now, Frey proves that no writer can put a high-powered hero at greater risk, nor offer readers more thrilling rewards.
A towering legend among NY private equity partnerships, Everest Capital is aptly named. When its founder meets an untimely death, thirty-six-year-old superstar Christian Gillette gets the very best job. But with the energy and prestige come risks. The day he narrowly escapes a fiery explosion that consumes his limo and takes two innocent lives, Gillette instantly understands how intense those risks are.
It comes as no surprise to him that he has enemies in the world of multibillion—dollar deals. But now that he controls Everest, he’s not going to let those enemies keep him from taking the firm–and himself–to even greater heights. Gillette hasn't hesitated to be aggressive, even ruthless, in his pursuit of success. This time will be no exception.
But to be able to forge the alliances necessary to achieve his goals, Gillette forsakes a cardinal rule: Never trust anyone. The only certainties will be the insidious campaign of corporate sabotage that may cost Gillette his job and the relentless assassination attempts that may cost him his life. To break a deadly conspiracy of greed, he’ll be required to walk–then run–an ever-blurring line between loyalty and betrayal, attack and retreat, survival and destruction . . . in the ultimate game of profit and loss.
With The Chairman, Stephen Frey presides with intensified skill over the market he has so significantly cornered–sharpening his patented make of hard-boiled high-finance intrigue to its keenest leading edge yet.
