{"product_id":"the-fund-a-financial-crime-thriller","title":"The Fund: A Financial Crime Thriller","description":"Clean hands don't build empires.\nAdrian Channing was never supposed to make it out. But he always had a talent for doing things he wasn’t supposed to do. From a blue-collar Pennsylvania town in long decline, he clawed his way into the rarefied world of global private equity. By forty, he was poised to become chairman of the world’s most powerful investment firm. It was a legacy he was building for his daughter as much as himself.\nThen his biggest investment explodes in a criminal scandal. Blamed for the fallout and blackballed from the industry, Adrian returns home broke and radioactive. To rebuild his career, he launches a new kind of fund focused on rebuilding the neighborhoods he grew up in. Unfortunately, the only investors willing to back him are the same criminals who ruined his career in the first place.\nSet at the explosive crossroads of high finance, organized crime, and politics, and told through multiple first-person perspectives, The Fund is a propulsive saga about the choices that shape us and the impact they make on the people we love and the communities we claim to serve.\nUgo Nwasike is a Nigerian-American corporate attorney and entrepreneur who has spent years advising global private equity firms on multibillion-dollar transactions, as well as the quiet mechanics of corporate scandal. Inspired by real dynamics he helped navigate, The Fund is his debut novel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GCL4GL47\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GCL4GL47.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nwasike, Ugo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43086842331197,"sku":"BVV.B0GCL4GL47.VG","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0GCL4GL47-0.jpg?v=1775338483","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-fund-a-financial-crime-thriller","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
