T2 Hedge Fund
Nothing can get in the way of Frank Carvale's rise. At the head of one of Wall Street's top-performing investment funds, he has so many people vying for his services that he's forced to turn away all but the very wealthiest, with a buy-in set at twenty million. What could go wrong, especially with Frank's mentor behind the scenes, the seemingly omniscient Bilkaer? And when a new product comes along to invest in, something called subprime mortgages, Frank's earnings spike further still, making him one of Wall Street's brightest stars. But for how long?
T3 Hedge Fund
Manipulated by billionaire and high finance kingpin Bilkaer, Frank Carvale has become the scapegoat for the subprime crisis, and is paying a heavy price for the role he's played. Will he ever step foot outside the prison walls again? Whatever the case, revenge might just be within reach. Revenge... and possibly even redemption.

Frank Carvale, manager of the hedge fund Bright Capital, is being blackmailed by the US government. To keep his wife from finding out about a past affair, he's forced to use his knowledge of the financial markets to sabotage the Shanghai International Gold Exchange. But there may be more at stake than the price of gold. As tensions rise on either side of the Taiwan Strait, no one is safe from becoming collateral damage in the economic war being waged from the shadows by Frank's mentor-turned-nemesis, Ergyu Bilkaer.
