The

whose recent (2011) novel thriller The Gods of Greenwich
has garnered considerable critical acclaim across the nation.
Norb
Vonnegut didn't realize how close he skirted to non-fiction when he
was writing Top Producer. Penned before tumultuous revelations
and scandals rocked the financial world in late 2008, Vonnegut's novel
depicts, with an insider's solid knowledge, the tricks that the industry's
real top producers pull in their frenzied pursuit of billions. Now Vonnegut
sets his electrifying follow-up in the high-rolling world of hedge funds,
lending his seasoned perspective to a fresh, riveting financial thriller.
Jimmy
Cusack is the tough kid from a blue-collar neighborhood who made good

on his condominium. And his wife is two months pregnant. That's the
good news.

on Wall Street, and his name is….
