But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
This financial thriller rocks and rolls with sex and 'skull-druggery,' and more money than Midas can count. It's un-put-downable. Stephen Maitland-Lewis, a former New York investment banker, writes fiction about a leading commercial bank with an insider's knowledge of embezzlement. Chilling.
Stephen Maitland-Lewis is an award-winning author, a British attorney, and a former international investment banker. He held senior positions in the City of London, Kuwait, and on Wall Street before moving to California in 1991. He owned a luxury hotel and a world-renowned restaurant and was also the Director of Marketing of a Los Angeles daily newspaper. Maitland-Lewis is a jazz aficionado and Board Trustee of The Louis Armstrong House Museum in New York. A member of PEN and The Authors Guild, Maitland-Lewis is also on the Executive Advisory Committee of the International Mystery Writer's Festival. His first novel, Hero on Three Continents, received numerous accolades. His second novel, Emeralds Never Fade, is the 2012 Benjamin Franklin Award winner in the category of Historical Fiction and the 2011 Written Arts Award winner for Best Fiction. Maitland-Lewis and his wife, Joni Berry, reside in Beverly Hills, California and in their home in the French Quarter, New Orleans.

Here's the set-up:
Having it all will never be enough for George Tazoli, an ambitious dealer on the trading floor of a prominent California bank. He is hand-picked for a special assignment to sell off bad loans, but not because he is dating the daughter of the bank's president, rather for his skill at working the market. The promotion sends him to New York, putting a strain on his relationship, but then a scandalous discovery lures him into the gamble of a lifetime. George must gauge the risks -- his direct superior is the bank's president and his potential father-in-law, who is married to an heiress worth billions, all the more reason for George to vow his fidelity. Back at the bank's headquarters, the president and his father, the chairman and grandfather of George's L.A. girlfriend, are embroiled in a long-standing feud with another family of stockholders competing for control of the bank. The boardroom tension and ultimate showdown keeps everyone busy while George makes difficult choices that will teach him a lesson learned the hard way -- even wealth has a price.
One Reviewer Notes:
Ambition makes 'Wall Street' look like a Boy Scout Convention. At the end of this vividly graphic exploration of life at the top of the financial world, there is hardly a character left standing who has not been involved (as victim or perpetrator) in blackmail, betrayal or sexual excess. This is clearly a prime candidate for big screen film entertainment.
Bill Bernstein, former president of Orion Pictures Corp. and former executive VP of Paramount Pictures Corp.
