CLAWBACK

“[Clawback] plays to public vengeance. With the liberty that only over-the-top fiction can take, it describes an errant Wall Street, still unreconstructed after the 2008 financial crisis, turning on itself. Did someone say catharsis?” — Wall Street Journal

“Intriguing characters, knowing insights into the Wall Street demimonde, a blistering pace, lots of action, and some over-the-top derring-do that may attract Hollywood.” — Booklist (Starred Review)

“Arm a Hollywood hero with a Beretta and disposable cell, point him at a Gordon Gekko–type, and this book’s big screen ready!” — Kirkus

Viking has just released Mike Cooper’s debut novel Clawback.

America might be slogging through its worst recession in seventy years, but Wall Street is back in glory – until the killing starts.

As Clawback opens, an assassin has begun shooting the country’s worst-performing financiers. A bottom-ranked investment manager; a hedge fund partner down ninety percent; a rotten banker. Someone’s slogan seems to be, “Don’t bail them out, take them out!”

A coalition of banksters hires a fixer, the sort of contractor whose job description opens with “total deniability” and ends with “unlicensed machine guns.” As bodies fall and markets plunge, he ranges the Greenwich-Midtown axis with an equalizer and an attitude – only to realize he’s become a target himself.
