""For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."" -1 Timothy 6:10 Just as John Grisham opened the legal world to fictional excitement, author Robert Veres takes a peek behind the facade into the beating heart of Wall Street and hedge fund finance in a complex dance of intrigue, love, unlimited greed, and murder. From the spectacular mansions of Greenwich to the Wall Street brokerage offices, follow the trail of blood and money to the source. The men and women who control the world of Wall Street will stop at nothing to get what they want. "The Root of All Evil" offers a glimpse behind the curtain of the mysterious world of finance. It is a response, not to the recent financial meltdown and Wall Street scandals alone, but to a dysfunctional culture that cannot help but produce more of the same for the foreseeable future.
