Twenty years ago, he was a flower child in the Haight. Now Cy Bannerman, whizkid Wall Street trader, has fallen (or been pushed?) from a New York balcony. Good-looking, intense, and charismatic, Cy was a fast-track option trader. Max Roberts, Cy's stricken young partner, vows to learn the truth of his death. Max's investigations soon uncover money-laundering schemes, insider trading, and messy romantic entanglements. Other tragedies occur before all is revealed, and Max begins to see that "Cy wasn't a hero." Indeed, heroes are in short supply in this novel of people corrupted by power. Nevertheless, the plot is intriguing and the setting timely. Recommended. Patricia Y. Morton, State Lib. of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg
