HEDGED is a fast-paced thriller set in a seductive world of incredible wealth and insatiable greed, where no price is too high to pay for getting to and staying on top. Topical and all too realistic, the excitement builds from the very first page and doesn't release the reader from its grip until the very last. Who would you be willing to sacrifice and how much of your soul would you be willing to trade to become a billionaire?
Legendary investor Vernon Albright is the founding partner of Parthenon Capital, a $20 billion hedge fund that counts among its investors some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful individuals. 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 goes horribly wrong, and fearful of having to swap his pinstripes for prison stripes, Albright cuts a deal with Hendricks that would make Faust blush.
Hendricks is Parthenon's largest investor yet Jeremy Cranford, Albright's younger partner and moral antithesis, has never met him, only finding out about the financier by accident. Who is this person and why has Albright kept his existence a secret? Conflict, suspense and danger abound as Cranford delves deeper into the mystery. His concerns quickly become more than financial as he learns of threats against his loved ones, threats that come from multiple and unknown sources.
Top selling author, hedge fund veteran and CNBC personality Stephen L. Weiss is just the right person to take you through the twists and turns of the gripping journey in
Hedged.
