The Trading Desk—a fast-paced novel that could only be written by a Wall Street veteran

Brandon Shuster is a stock trader at Glacial Capital in the early 2010s. From the Flash Crash to Facebook’s botched IPO, he’s seen enough adrenaline rushes and near disasters to rethink his trading career. But when financial reporters suspect fraud at a burgeoning electronics retailer, Brandon smells blood in the water and goes for the kill.

The Trading Desk follows the Wall Street frenzy as traders, legendary hedge fund managers, journalists, and corporate executives ride the roller coaster of stock plunges and short squeezes. From the camaraderie and cynicism on the trading desk to the moral struggles of the newsroom and the cunning schemes hatched in the executive suite, Brad Ginesin borrows from history to weave an authentic story of the stock market as only an insider can.
