The inside account of a financial meltdown that reshaped Wall Street In 1983, Lew Glucksman, then co-CEO of the heralded investment bank Lehman Brothers, demanded the resignation of chairman Pete Peterson, with whom he had long argued over how to manage the company. Shockingly, Peterson, who had taken charge a decade earlier and led Lehman from near collapse to record profits, agreed to step down. In this meticulously researched volume, Ken Auletta details the turmoil, infighting, and power struggles that brought about Peterson’s departure and the eventual sale of one of Wall Street’s oldest and most prestigious firms. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s stock exchange, where hotshot young traders made and lost millions in a single afternoon, the story of Lehman’s fall is a suspenseful battle of wills between bankers, traders, and executives motivated by greed, envy, and ego. Auletta, who conducted hundreds of hours of interviews and was granted access to private company records, has crafted a thorough, enduring, and engaging account of pivotal events that continued to influence this storied financial institution until its ultimate demise in 2008.

Stephie Jay was one of the most beloved reality television stars and social media influencers of the last decade, regarded as 'royalty' in the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne where she lived. Now she's dead from what everybody but her parents have accepted to be a tragic but inexplainable suicide. Jake Lehman is a private investigator trying to keep his head above the water line as the North East stumbles alongside the rest of the UK towards an economic collapse. Broken from a past that left him betrayed and scapegoated by his ex-police colleagues and a corrupt local government, Lehman is hired by Stephie's parents to investigate their daughter's death and prove it was not as it has been portrayed. To do that, Lehman's going to have to face down his past, his addictions and all the demons that come with both. Lehman's Terms is a journey down a dark path to the truth with an irreverent narrator who's too busy deconstructing the tale he's telling you to realise just how out of his depth he is. If you're a fan of Shane Black movies, 80s soft rock music and Elmore Leonard novels, this is for you! ------------------------------- Reviews for "Lehman's Terms": "If Shane Black wrote a Geordie private eye thriller for Ross Noble this would be it!" - Emily John. "An unconventional action thriller; purposefully meandering (in a good way) but when it kicks into gear its impossible to put down! It's dark, funny AND actually quite moving!" - Sarah Mitchell. "I, and hopefully a wider audience, found [McClane] quite enjoyable as a guide into the world of the P.I." - Thomas Ludlow. "An exciting, investigative, thrill-ride where lots of stuff gets smashed the f**k up!" - Rob Leatt. "If you like 80s action movies, s**t soft rock, comedic ramblings about pop culture (specifically the ending of The Fugitive) and an irreverent new spin on old private eye tropes, THIS is the book for you! This is DEFINITELY the book for you!" - James Grant. "★★★★★ ... by the time you get to the shocking reveal it is impossible to put down!" - Helen Grover. "It's assured in its style and sets that out from the start. I blasted through it for one reason: It's f**king good!" - Mark Flaherty. -------------------------------

David Lehman, a poet of wit, ingenuity, and formidable skill, draws upon his heritage as a grandson of Holocaust victims and offers a stirring autobiographical collection of poems that is his most ambitious work to date. Yeshiva Boys covers an expansive range of subjects -- from love, sex, and romance to repentance, humility, the meaning of democracy, Existentialism, modern European history, military intelligence, and the rituals associated with faith and prayer. The title poem is a work in twelve parts that blends the elements of espionage fiction, memory, history, and moral philosophy. It reflects David's experience as a student in an orthodox Yeshiva, and it, along with many other poems in the book, explores what it means to be a Jew in America, what is gained and lost in assimilating to secular culture, how to understand the peculiar destiny of the Jewish people, and how to reconcile the existence of God with the knowledge of evil. Beautiful, provocative, and accessible, this is David Lehman's most inspired collection.

In this suspenseful crime thriller, three friends manage to carry out what one of them describes decades later as "the greatest kid crime ever committed." But that's not their only secret. Who murdered the neighborhood mobster? David, Mary Kay and her twin brother Tommy spend their lives hiding an improbable act of deception from their youth and how they became fabulously wealthy. Decades pass and the burden of guarding their secret and who they are takes a toll leading to paranoia, reckless behavior, obsession and more secrets. A childhood acquaintance suddenly understands the significance of what he knows and what the three must have done. His investigation tips off the very people they have been hiding from all along. What follows is revenge, death, a "deal with the devil," and the revelation of stunning, unforeseen madness. Everybody starts out as a kid, but they all grow up someday, and some sins can't be forgiven. Love? Murder? Greed? Insanity? Yeah, it's in there.
