Black Monday: The White Powder Fund

5 Stars! ...Not sure if the Author is going to write anymore of this one. This book was a birthday present and one of the best I ever received. I really admire the comedy... the way that drug cartels are described in this book is absolutely phenomenal ! Devin finds himself in one risky line of work. The Author must have learned about the life of a wall street business professional. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good book that keeps you interested in upcoming events. Great Book!

Engaging Crime Thrillers

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 out of 5 stars. The question you've gotta ask is "What do you think happens The question you've gotta ask is "What do you think happens when you put wall street with a lot of cocaine?" Not what you'd think. I found myself enjoying Black Monday and its characters, even more so as the pages passed Well placed bits of humor and engrossing storyline, as seen thru the guise of Devin Drakes narrations. What caught me by surprise was how good it was... smart, engaging and funny all the way to the end. To be honest I hadn't always had the best experiences with Indie Author in the past 50/50 at best, but I have to admit I was wanting the next chapter when I reached the end, which I hope comes out soon. Really, really a fine novel. Highly recommend! ☆☆☆☆☆

Black Monday: The White Powder Fund

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 out of 5 stars. When I comparing Thomas Lee Wrights hit movie : "New Jack City" When I comparing Thomas Lee Wrights hit movie : “New Jack City,” I must say, if he decides to make a sequel to New Jack City, this story would fit the bill. This book is a “must read” for all adults. The chapters appear to progress as Devin is “breaking bad” on unemployment. He gradually forges a life of crime. But no, not only crime, he purchases land to cultivate pounds of pure cocaine. As the plot thickens, he’s trading cocaine on the stock market. This, I’m sure will support the conspiracy theory of those who believe that the U.S. Govt. does this in real life. Anyone reading this book can identify with the 80’s epidemic of cocaine. I find it not only a dark comedy but rather educational. It taught me how Devin and people like him develop into criminals as victims of circumstance. Laundering money to pay stockbrokers wasn’t the only problems that Devin encounters, it is just the beginning. The chapters are sized correctly, and aren’t too long. When you start reading, you won’t want to stop reading. Overall, I refer to this book as a dark comedy filled with never-ending action. To the Author I say : You couldn’t have written a better book…it was worth the money ! -- Power777

Black Monday: The White Powder Fund

4.0 out of 5 stars A stockbroker starts over with an unexpected clientele. Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015 An up-and-coming yuppie stock-brocker, Devin, sees the value of his portfolio sink in the wake of a stock market crash. There is a great deal of hypocrisy in this world, with each person willing to play one-upmanship and cheerfully stab each other's back to make the big time. Worst of all, Devin's boss, an member of the old guard, takes exquisite pleasure in not only firing his charge but doing everything he can to break his spirit in the process. Devin becomes so disillusioned by the life style that he has the sudden epiphany that it would be more intellectually and emotionally honest to deal with manufacturers of unregistered pharmaceuticals, essentially become a profiteer on the one policy of America's which is even more hypocritical than allowing the dishonest to play with other people's money, and that is to provide a product which our hypocritical officials consider far too dangerous for the common public to possess. During his odyssey throughout South American and Southern California Devin finds a range of people, some fair, some fault, one or two even loving, but none who are treacherous like on Wall Street. But nobody, not even Devin, can keep this artificial paradise from eventually crashing down around their ears. Evidently Part II is how that starts. This is has potential for a complete five star-novel, but as this is not a complete novel it has not earned that status with me. Four Stars. Andrew J. Fine
