Blackjack: A Wall Street Tale: You Should Know Your Investors

Blackjack: A Wall Street Tale: You Should Know Your Investors

For Aaron Simmons and Connor Hennessey, working with Silicon Valley superstars and golden boys Ric Mantilla and Carl Retten at tech high-flyer dComm Systems is the American dream.

But Simmons and Hennessey and the rest of dComm's employees donâ‚¬t know that dComm isnâ‚¬t what it seems to be. In effect, the company is a ransom -- a trade made by Mantilla and Retten to avoid an Enron-style catastrophe that would have wrecked their lives and reputations.

Their benefactor? An offshore hedge fund calling itself Blackjack. Neither Mantilla nor Retten have ever met its principal officer in person. Thatâ‚¬s fine, so long as the truth remains hidden.

When Simmons and Hennessey unwittingly stumble onto the truth, dreams become nightmares. Simple mid-level managers find themselves in a battle of wits with Blackjack. From San Francisco to Belize, a shocking and traumatic game of cat-and-mouse ensues, with survival doubled down and Blackjack holding the cards.
