Sink

by Raphael Chayim Rosen

Read the novel New York Times Bestselling Author Jesse Kellerman has called: “Stunning. A glimpse into a thrilling world, rich with intrigue and populated by unforgettable characters. Rosen is a major talent.”

Late one evening, Celeste Kauffman finds half a million dollars hidden in the bathroom of her boss, Ana Peli. Ana is a world-renowned investor and the woman Celeste moved from New York to Buenos Aires with to help build the hedge fund they manage together, but Celeste begins to discover Ana is not as she seems.

With the 2008 global financial crisis undermining the fund's financial stability, Celeste suspects Ana of embezzlement, and as Celeste investigates the money, she discovers not only that Ana is an impostor but also that the fund itself is founded on high-stakes lies. When Celeste and Ana clash, the fallout engulfs not just their friendship and the company they built, but business elites, newspaper magnates, and even the Argentine government itself.

Part financial intrigue, part detective story, this delightfully original novel from one of today’s most exhilarating and compulsively readable new voices is riveting, thought-provoking, and filled with surprises. "Sink" will draw fans of "The Genius" and "The Wizard of Lies" down into its whirlpool.

Reviews

[Doni Katz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun, exciting, fast-paced read. Love the ballsy finance banter, makes the characters feel real and relatable. The exotic (to me) Argentine locale adds intrigue, as the author paints a vivid, romantic picture. Highly recommended.

I read the first 5 pages and got distracted by life. I read the next five pages and I stayed up for hours to finish the whole thing! I loved the details, the characters, the suspense. A fun, smart and enticing read. Highly recommended!
