Anotace knihy

Whitney Cogswell, a self-absorbed, socialite pretender unexpectedly becomes the CEO of a rapidly growing regional bank, despite his total lack of skills, experience or ambition. Cogswell mistakenly thinks the bank's success is all due to his deft handling of his role. His assistant Dee Dee Davino is appointed to protect him from the vultures, and keep him from making any catastrophic mistakes. However, he is doomed to failure as his errors cannot be contained. The members of the Executive Leadership each think that they should be CEO, due to their banking experience, and plot to undermine Cogswell's performance. At the same time, they seek every opportunity to get past Davino, Cogswell's gatekeeper, to plead their case to replace him as CEO. And the intrique only becomes more complicated with the exposure of love interests and sexual exploitation within their group. The bank attains unprecedented growth with Dee Dee covering his bungling failures, while keeping the other bank executives at bay. The pace becomes blistering as the dubious triumphs multiply exponentially in every banking sector. But can its incompetent management team handle the unbridled success in the face of the country's economic collapse? The relevant subject of this contemporary novel exposes many of the underlying societal depravities existent in today's business world, such as drug abuse, illicit sex, political intrigue, character assassination, and more. Who would have expected the activities at a stodgy bank to provide so many fascinating scandals?
