Description: The Steel Connection by Jack J. Amstel In a world still reeling from the financial crisis, who are the real villains? To find out, simply follow the money. The Steel Connection: A Novel about Millions, Morals and Deceit is author Jack J. Amstels razor-sharp thriller about the world of high finance that reveals just how high the stakes can rise when theres ample money to be had. This riveting post-crisis suspense novel offers a rare glimpse of Wall Street misdoings from a financial insider on how funds get diverted and loyalties get scuttled as old-school values mix with new-world finance to wreak havoc in the sum of millions. Willem, a Dutchman living in New York, has risen to Manhattan-style fame and fortune as founder and partner of the successful private equity fund Tri-mound. While managing the fallout from the financial crisis, he discovers that his partners are elbow-deep in some unscrupulous activities that threaten to upend everything he has worked for years to achieve. The story becomes all the more entangled when Willems father, Peter, turns up unexpectedly in New York, and the steel mill CEO patriarch quickly becomes caught up in his sons ever-growing troubles. To help unravel Willems suspicions, Peter enlists Sophia, the head-turning, MIT-educated chief technology officer of one of Willems companies. Soon, others are woven into the intrigue, including Armand, a retired billionaire IT investor living in St. Barth, and Stella, the jilted ex-wife of one of Willems partners who is out for revenge. When she unexpectedly links up with Robert, a homeless ex-banker, Willem has to face his greedy partners and his own moral dilemmas, while trying to crack Swiss numbered bank accounts and save himself and the company. Set against the lavish scenery and bottomless coffers of the Hamptons, New York, Amsterdam, St. Barth, and Zrich, The Steel Connection mines the flagrant turpitude that is the upshot of the age of financial excess. When Willem discovers his worst nightmare is just the beginning of a multitude of sins, is he prepared to fight dirty enough to reclaim what is his? As European mores clash with unbridled capitalism and boundless greed runs rampant, this complex web of deception, romance, and Swiss bank accounts sheds chilling new light on the thin green line between high finance and the lowest form of duplicity.
