Synopsis "Winning (in English)"
SUCCESS COMES AT A PRICE.Fen Morgan, Chief Investment Officer at XelFunds, is a brilliant investor, and an insufferable romantic. Living mostly in his head, he accumulates private collections, as he wanders alone through fictional mental landscapes, crammed with investment theories and shards of poetry.When Fen is catapulted into a top job, a grisly tragedy strikes, and he is shaken to his core. Sardonic wit is no longer a sufficient defense. In despair, yet alive to the possibilities that may result, Fen searches for answers.His colleague Grace, meanwhile, desperately tries to make her way through the Neanderthal tribes that occupy the C-suites of Wall Street. Uncertain that there is anything of worth in life beyond her ambition, Grace gambles on an act of betrayal that will determine her survival. Winning is a gripping story of Wall Street, knives and chameleons, played out across an intriguing, international canvas. As Fen’s stock rises, and Grace plays politics, they consider what it means to win the world but lose your soul.“The author of Winning has obviously spent a long career observing the machinations of business life, and he has created an absorbing tale of office conflict. His characters are complicated, often deeply flawed and sometimes tragic. Winning is a witty and fascinating read.”Jeremy Griffiths, Chief Financial Officer“Dinsell dissects the personalities of the inhabitants of a Wall Street executive suite with such accuracy that anyone who has ever worked in such a place will immediately associate the characters with real people they have known. Witty and merciless.” Mark Wellman, Wall Street senior executive and board member
