"A modern version of Moby-Dick, with wiretaps rather than
harpoons."--Jennifer Senior, The New York Times "Excellent."--The
Economist "If you liked James B. Stewart's Den of Thieves, Sheelah
Kolhatkar's thrilling Black Edge should be next on your reading
list."--The Wall Street Journal "A lot of people do not trust Wall
Street. They regard it as a moneymaking machine for those who work
there, which has little interest in practice in its stated aim of
channeling capital into businesses and helping them to grow for the
broader benefit of society. For such skeptics, Steven Cohen is
Exhibit A."--John Gapper, Financial Times "A richly reported,
entertaining tale about the cat-and-mouse game between the
government and Cohen."--Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times Book

operating, New Yorker staff writer Sheelah Kolhatkar retraces the
seven-year government investigation that took down the firm--though
not the man--in a true-life thriller with Shakespearian stakes. . .
. Her chilling account of a blighted industry is as mesmerizing as
a human story as it is as a financial one."--Fortune "There are few
financial-industry struggles as titanic as the one portrayed in
these pages."--Reuters BreakingViews "One of the best books about
the 2008 financial meltdown."--The Globe and Mail "Well-written,
