He broke no law getting in. The problem was what happened after everyone let him stay.
A respected name. Convincing numbers. Borrowed money. Perfectly legal structures.
Rajan Malhotra knows how to make people believe.
But when collateral becomes a story, debt begins moving in circles, and the law itself becomes part of the strategy, someone has to stop looking at the man-and start looking at the numbers.
The Gentleman's Guide to Default is a psychological financial thriller about banking, credit, financial engineering, legal loopholes, investigation and accountability.
It is a story about brilliance and belief-and about what happens when nobody verifies the story behind the numbers.
Some defaults happen when the money runs out.
Others begin long before anyone realizes there is a problem.
