Augustus McKnight is an unhappy salesman who dreams of making it big in the stock market. When one of his investments nets him a nice return he sets out on a career as a day trader. His wife is murdered and, naturally, he’s a suspect. In trying to prove his innocence he discovers that nothing about his life - or his wife - is or was what it seemed.
This is a good story; a page turner with some surprising plot twists. Its portrayal of the world of the small time day trader is interesting. The characters may be a bit implausible, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the book.
