Choose Your Preference:
A riveting story of Midwest banker meets New York financier. Not surprisingly values differ, and the author finds himself in a huge moral dilemma-and chooses right over wrong. Fascinating account of deal making at its finest…and it’s worst. Couldn’t put the book down, well written and entertaining !
James L. Stewart
This book pulled me in from the very first chapter. It’s not your typical corporate thriller - it’s a deep, human story about integrity, ambition and the fine line between success and self respect.
The protagonist, a young mergers and acquisitions executive, finds himself torn between doing the right thing and protecting the career he’s built his entire life around. As he jets between the U.S. and Europe orchestrating multimillion dollar deals, the tension builds - not just in the boardroom, but within his own moral compass. The vivid description of deal-making makes the story feel authentic and fast paced, while the ethical dilemmas give it real emotional weight.
What really stands out is the contrast between a grounded sense of right and wrong and the ruthless Chairman, who manipulates both good and bad deals for his own gain. It’s a brilliant study of power, loyalty and the cost of conscience in the high-stakes world of global business.
If you love stories that blend sharp intelligence, moral tension and jet setting adventure, this is a must read. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you turn the last page.

Mesmerizing Read
From the Prologue to the final page, I was swept away into an unforeseen world where not many of us could imagine. The story is gripping especially knowing it is factual. The ‘domino effects’ of choices made in this particular business have far greater repercussions than the reader might expect. A rollercoaster of a read! A must for anyone in the industry or the casual reader interested in a riveting page-turner that will open one’s eyes to a darker side of doing business.
