Financial, by Jonathan Hoenig

“Hitting bookstores this month is another Wall Street tale, Naked Option (Harriman House; 272 pages, $25) by Joe Kolman, a longtime financial writer but first-time novelist. For a long plane ride or weekend escape, Naked Option is a breezy, easily digestible pleasure that reads like a pulp detective story in a Wall Street setting. Kolman accurately encapsulates the psychological roller coaster that comes with putting your money and reputation on the line.”
