The debut novel by Holger Berndt vividly portrays the adventures and challenges encountered by San Francisco hedge fund manager Jasper Weatherly as he endeavors to manage and grow his lucrative business, Firestorm Partners. Experience the dynamic world of hedge funds from the inside as Jasper deals with the many different situations and dilemmas that confront him. The best interests of Jasper, his firm, and his clients would seem to be tightly intertwined. However, that may not always be the case. Follow along as his sense of right and wrong gets put to the ultimate test.

Holger Berndt is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) with more than a dozen years experience in the investment management industry as a trader, research analyst, and hedge fund portfolio manager for both equities and convertible securities. His insights and perspectives create a story that is rich in realism as well as entertaining and enlightening. While written in a way that is easy to understand and enjoy, the book also appeals strongly to anyone who has ever taken an interest in the stock market and made their own investment decisions, or observed the ethical problems that are so much in the news today.
