Solomon's Brothers

Alone, depressed and feeling suicidal, Nathan sits in his Chinatown walk-up, an empty bottle of Jack Daniels by his side. He fumbles in the dark for his vibrating cell phone and answers, with a slurred, “Hello?” And the news is not what he expected. 'Solomon’s Brothers' tells the story of down ‘n’ out banker Nathan DeAngelis. After suffering a major career set back, and falling on hard times, he’s offered a new job at a secretive Trust that manages the assets of super-rich clients. But before long, Nathan makes a disturbing discovery, forcing him to accept that this random act of kindness hides much darker motives. Without realizing it, he’s been sucked into an obscenely devious moneymaking scheme, involving Wall Street insiders and his former boss. If successful, it will rank as The Greatest Trade of All Time (GT-OAT). Nathan feels compelled to act. With his career back on track, he’s no longer content to break even … he wants to get even. But what can he do? He’s just a little guy, without money or influence. And he fears putting his own life on the line. Can Nathan DeAngelis really sabotage his former boss’s plans to pull off the Greatest Trade of All Time? Or will the natural order of the financial universe prevail? The bankers emerge as winners, waving their bonus checks in our faces and guzzling Nebuchadnezzars of Armand de Brignac champagne? A novel for our times, 'Solomon’s Brothers' is subtly subversive and laced with black humor. Roman Klěe populates his story with a cast of characters whose sense of self-entitlement is only exceeded by their overreaching greed. 'Solomon’s Brothers' is a roman à clef by the Really Anonymous Author, Roman Klěe. To discover more, go www.solomonsbrothers.com.
