About the Book, Wealth Management: For fans of Jess Walter and Gary Shteyngart, this is a financial thriller featuring three Ivy League MBAs who must put their lopsided love triangle aside to snare international terrorists. In the lush world-banking capital of Geneva, Switzerland, three young wealth managers (Catherine, Majid, and Rafe) are handling investments for clients with dubious pedigrees. When problems with troubled investments are “fixed” by murders and bombs, they come to suspect that their clients are Mafiosi and terrorists, but by then they are accomplices, are under threat, and have no easy way to back out. Their efforts to save themselves — and innocent lives — are complicated by their being in a love triangle, by one of them secretly working with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence to investigate the other two, and by the unexpected appearance of a detective from Nigeria who may or may not be in league with terrorists himself.
