"A terrific debut novel... Mountford's parable of the voracious global economy reminds me of Graham Greene's The Quiet American." -Jess Walter, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Cold Millions
On his first assignment for a rapacious hedge fund, Gabriel embarks to Bolivia at the end of 2005 to ferret out insider information about the plans of the controversial president-elect. If Gabriel succeeds, he will get a bonus that would make him secure for life. Standing in his way are his headstrong mother, a survivor of Pinochet's Chile, and Gabriel's new love interest, the president's passionate press liaison. Caught in a growing web of lies and questioning his own role in profiting from an impoverished people, Gabriel sets in motion a terrifying plan that could cost him the love of all those he holds dear.
Set against the stunning mountainous backdrop of La Paz and interspersed with Bolivia's sad history of stubborn survival, this examines the critical choices a young man makes as his world closes in on him.
"Both of the book's settings-desperately poor but proud La Paz, the world's highest-altitude capital, and the world of go-go high finance, a realm about which Mountford clearly knows his stuff-are well rendered. The author is especially good at conveying the visceral and intellectual thrills of stock speculation/manipulation... smart, intricate, fast-paced." -Kirkus Reviews
"One of the most compelling and thought-provoking novels I've read in years." -David Shields, author ofOther People
