Trade Secrets is a novel about two women whose lives intersect on the trading floor of the world's largest Exchange during the crash of1987 and subsequent FBI investigation into trading infractions at the Chicago exchanges. Against this real- life backdrop, Remy Masterman becomes a member of the Exchange to unearth details surrounding her father's car crash. Facing Zach Silverman, once her father's partner and now Chairman of the Exchange, she unravels the devious web that has allowed him to steal trades from customers. When Zach's bagman, Jason, is targeted in the Federal sting, his high-heeled wife, Sarna, catapults herself onto the trading floor to save them from bankruptcy. Without realizing how his career will collide with hers, Remy has fallen in love with Ken Baldwin, the lawyer who choreographed the inquiry, while Sarna unwittingly becomes involved with one of the government moles. Finally, Jason's clerk, Joey, who has been pummeled along with investors, joins Sarna in concocting the bold, sexy scheme to save Remy from becoming a victim and topple Zach's regime.

About this title

From the Author

TRADE SECRETS  took me a very long time to write, but it was a story that had to be told because the historical parts of this book should never be forgotten. Long before the Lehman collapse and the Bernie Madoff scandals, there was a crash in 1987 that on its surface created more panic than the crash of 1929. This novel takes the reader onto the trading floor during those dramatic days and then follows its characters into the FBI investigation that rocked the Chicago financial scene. While the novel could be considered a romance, its financial angle brings new dimensions to its unusual landscape: the colorful pits that were once front and center and now part of a by-gone, but certainly unforgettable era.
