Description
Sheelah Kohalktar presents the dark history of Wall Street through her writing, Black Edge. This book is considered by some as a true-crime suspense book that exposes what is described as the root of all evil – love for money, in this sense, the corruption that revolved in one of the biggest hedge fund businesses, the Wall Street.
The book, as the title suggests, involves a forensic study and the quest for the truth more than being a trading story. Kohalktar has the ability to tell a complicated story to a readable one by making financial terms understandable to common readers. Discover the dark past of today’s successful Wall Street through perusing Black Edge.
