The Golden Dog

When idealistic Midwesterner Nate Perkins completes his MBA and lands a job with Platt Brothers, a respected investment banking firm on Wall Street, it strikes him as a dream fulfilled. A decent young man with big dreams, Nate’s traditional work ethic soon results in a chance transaction with Tantalus Fund and its influential and charismatic leader, Lucas Orr. Nate’s trading advice, supported by the beautiful woman he loves, a Platt research analyst named Dana, leads to a golden opportunity for Tantalus and a job offer for Nate. Too soon, however, he finds himself sucked into the vortex of megalomaniac Orr, a man who exploits the weak, capitalizes on the unsuspecting, and enjoys the conquest of glamorous women. In Wall Street insider Scott Sipprelle’s compelling novel, The Golden Dog, readers are treated to the underbelly of The Street, where treachery is as common as the Dow is volatile, and the fervent quest for money can prove fatal.
