Banker's Holiday (in Paperback)

"A Novel of Fiscal Irregularity" From the first puzzling sentence, Banker's Holiday -- a euphemism for a federal bank closure -- conjures the (now prophetically) bleak and humorous world of C. Stillman Fuller, a workaholic financier who suffers a serious setback in the middle of a Monday morning staff meeting: Fuller comes to the sudden, disturbing realization that his "brooding, luxurious zombies, otherwise known as senior management" have become just that, and that he must either escape, or become one of them. (Orig. published in hardback in 2006; new paperback version out soon.)
