What happens when greed collides with blind ambition? In this short story from Norb Vonnegut, available exclusively as an eBook, Grove O’Rourke discovers how far powerful adversaries will go to push their political agendas. The prize: the presidency of the United States.
Nobody else knows what Grove knows. He unearths secrets about his clients, some close to home and some smoldering in the stacks of a Harvard library. He can keep quiet, pander to whoever comes out on top, and keep his thirty pieces of silver. Or he can do the right thing, destroy his career, and trash his personal reputation. It’s lose-lose any way you look at it.
Who would have expected an unscheduled meeting to create this quandary? Grove was walking his dog, returning from Central Park. That’s when a professor from Harvard Business School rolled down the window of a black Lincoln Town Car and said, “Get in.”
What a ride. Grove thought his industry was tough. But in Mr. President, he learns that Wall Street is a nursery compared to the power corridors of Washington, DC.
MR. PRESIDENT includes an excerpt from Norb Vonnegut’s recent New York Times acclaimed financial thriller, THE TRUST.
"Norb Vonnegut is the seriously underappreciated author of three glittery thrillers about fiscal malfeasance. This may not sound like a red-hot franchise, but he has made it one...Mr. Vonnegut dreams up diabolically elegant business crimes, then sends smart-talking characters to follow the money."
Norb Vonnegut has appeared on the Dylan Ratigan Show and Bloomberg News as well as the Laura Ingraham and Judith Regan Shows. Top Producer, his debut novel was a featured pick of the Today Show and SmartMoney and is published in nine languages. The New York Times selected his second book, The Gods of Greenwich as a 2011 summer read. His third book, The Trust, was released summer 2012.
Norb built his wealth-management career with Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street institutions. A Harvard graduate, he splits his time between New York and Rhode Island and is a trustee with the American Foundation for the Blind.
