The Beginning of the most corrupt decade in the history of Wall Street was a good time to steal a little bit of money from a lot of people. Frank McGinley, a trading floor specialist with a fondness for vodka, uncovers a scam to skim money from traders accounts and accepts forty grand to look the other way. He has no idea he's landed in the middle of an ongoing federal investigation of a Ponzi schemer turned violent. The Vig is the story about the seamy side of Wall Street rarely seen by the public. Deals are made on a barstool not a boardroom. They're sealed with a handshake and broken with a fist-or sometimes a gun. To stay alive, Frank will have make a deal with the Feds, survive torture from a beautiful assasin, and outwit a criminal mastermind who has left a trail of bodies behind him for twenty years.
