Yet even as his financial fortunes begin to soar, dark circumstances threaten to send his life into a tailspin. A suspicious insurance investigator is determined to prove that Augustus committed the murder to get the million. And a relentless police detective is watching Augustuss every move-with the help of a mystery informant.Augustuss only ally has is Vincent Carlucci-an old friend and high-living player, who offers Augustus a sweet gig managing the money of some big shots wholl pay handsome commissions on winning investments. But when the deal is sealed with a night on the town at an exclusive after-hours club, Augustus stumbles on the first of many shocking revelations about the events that have rocked his world-and discovers he is both a pawn in a complex game of manipulation and betrayal . . . and the target of a twisted quest for revenge.The Day Trader is as thrilling-and terrifying-as gambling on a hot stock in this lightning-fast world where fortunes are made or lost at the touch of a button, where being rich means being ruthless, and where quick wits and killer instinct make the difference between success and slaughter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536161669408,"sku":"NEW0345443241","price":19.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51FFWVEG7PL.jpg?v=1777403062","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-day-trader-a-novel-of-risk-and-reward-0345443241","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
