About the Book
A scathing fictional expos that captures the corruption and debauchery of thetrading floor of a Wall Street brokerage house, witnessed through the eyes ofa shoeshine boy who works there.Book Synopsis
Brazilian-born Gil is trying to find the American Dream. In the meantime, he polishes the shoes of the superrich and powerful on Wall Street--high-rolling traders as uninhibited as they are ruthless. Gil sees things as few other people do--from the ground up--and his perspective on the day-to-day insanity of the trading floor is priceless. But this fly on the wall overhears one or two things that maybe he shouldn't. And when a Glossy magazine journalist, desperate for a big break, persuades him to be an undercover source for what may be the biggest insider trading scam in Wall Street history, Gil is catapulted into a danger zone darker than anything he or the journalist could have imagined.
