Description
In the heart of 1980s New York City, a wealthy bond trader's life unravels after a fatal hit-and-run accident. As his carefully constructed world crumbles, he becomes entangled in a complex web of ambition, race, and class. This sharp satire dissects the era's rampant materialism and the often-corrupt systems that govern justice and society. Tom Wolfe masterfully captures the zeitgeist of a decade defined by excess and the illusion of invincibility.
