When Paul loses his job, Carter presents him the chance to mind the legal team at his hedge account. Thrilled along with his fortune in about The Darlings: A Book the midst of the worst financial downturn since the Great Major depression, Paul accepts the position.
But Paul’s good fortune is going to shift: a tragic event catapults the Darling family members into the press spotlight, a regulatory analysis, and a red-hot scandal with tremendous implications for everybody involved. Instantly, Paul must decide where his loyalties lie-will he save himself while betraying his wife and in-laws or protect the family business at all costs?
