Breakfast Ball: a Brad Stephens Novel (The Brad Stephens Novels) Mr J.a. Maloney 1st edition

Brad Stephens was enjoying the relative success of thirty years in the high stress world of mortgage loan origination when the great recession left him stripped of assets, short of business, and teetering on the brink of insolvency. When professional golfer and good friend, John Linden, hires him to act as both real estate agent and mortgage broker, it appears Brad is headed towards financial salvation. The transaction should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately for Brad, Linden's management company, his hot Latina fiancée, a group of fundamental extremists, and the apparent suicide of Linden's personal manager, Art Smalley, present extraordinary --perhaps deadly-- obstacles to his success. J. A. Maloney's first thriller offers well-paced intrigue and an insider's portrait of the financial collapse that almost destroyed the global economy. Along the way, he will take you to several world famous golf courses; will entertain you with some insight into the rich and famous and will introduce you to the world of Brad Stephens --a regular guy whose first shot at life went slightly out of bounds and now might deserve to take a Breakfast Ball.
