DE201702
by David Enrich
Print Length: 533 pages
Publisher:Custom House (March 21, 2017)
“[Enrich’s] impressive reporting and writing chops are on full display in The Spider Network… From the start, the book reads like a fast-paced John le Carr thriller, and never lets up.” (William D. Cohan, New York Times Book Review
William D. Cohan, <i>New York Times Book Review</i>)
“With an unerring eye for detail, Enrich shows in this masterful work how a toxic stew of greed, arrogance and a lust for power led to a criminal scheme of unparalleled dimensions. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the dirty underbelly of the financial world.” (Kurt Eichenwald, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Informant)
“A damning look at the culture of trader chicanery… Enrich has sidestepped the temptation to slip into author-as-prosecutor mode, instead going the wry tour guide route to lucidly (and often hilariously) usher readers through the Looney Tunesworld that wrought l’affaire Libor.” (John Helyar, coauthor of Barbarians at the Gate)
