Jay Newman was a big player on Wall Street, making huge bets on distressed sovereign debt, and -- although it took years in the case of his most famous trade -- paying off huge. His first book, Undermoney, is a fast-paced thriller that combines international military and spy intrigue with the kind of insider trading on financial markets that Martha Stewart could only dream of...although these cases involve lots of people dying. I encourage you to buy Undermoney and enjoy! https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Undermoney/Jay-Newman/9781982156022
