About David Lender

David Lender is the best-selling author of the thrillers Trojan Horse, The Gravy Train, Bull Street, and Vaccine Nation. He writes thrillers set in the financial sector based on his twenty-five plus year career as a Wall Street investment banker. He draws on an insider’s knowledge from working in mergers and acquisitions with Merrill Lynch, Rothschild, and Bank of America for the international settings, obsessively driven personalities, and real-world financial intrigue in his novels. Lender’s characters range from David Baldacci–like corporate power brokers to Elmore Leonard–esque misfits and scam artists. His plots reveal the egos and ruthlessness that motivate players in the business world, as well as the inner workings of the most powerful of our financial institutions and corporations.

Goodreads review by Richard on July 19, 2011

Much different book than Trojan Horse, the first of his I read. This is tightly-written, well-paced story of Wall Street crime and punishment.
