A young hotshot at a Manhattan investment bank is summoned to a meeting he knows will be his last. But the dynamics of the talk take an unexpected turn. And a dark secret is revealed.

Paul Cromwell is on the fast track to join Wall Street's highest echelons. The young manager is closing one big deal after the other and already eyes his next promotion. Yet his boss and former mentor has different plans. To him, Cromwell has turned into an uncontrollable gunslinger that endangers his own career aspirations. On top, his former protégé's hate of hierarchy has bred revulsion between the two men for four long years. There is no alternative: Cromwell is to be axed.

In a suspense-filled last meeting the young man demonstrates the skills that have fueled his meteoric rise. Turn by turn he bends the balance of power, divides his attackers against each other, and threatens to reveal a dark secret from the days leading up to the financial crisis.

But his boss is not going down without a fight either. Can Cromwell keep alive his aspirations in the world of big capital?

WRANGLER OF WALL STREET is a riveting financial thriller, a short story about New York's high finance and the clash of big egos. Read what happens when unabashed career aspirations and personal enmity outmatch the hunger for profits.
