The Ponzi - P.T. Dawkins
Wall Street Thriller (444 pages - May 2013)

This novel is written along the lines of a legal thriller but with Wall Street and white-collar crime as the background.

"I totally enjoyed reading 'The Ponzi' by P.T. Dawkins. It is incredibly well written, with subplots and vivid characters, I found myself totally caught up in it. I also gained a greater understanding of how people allow themselves to get caught up in schemes that involve greed and being told what they want to hear. I highly recommend reading 'The Ponzi.' This is one book you won't want to put down. " - Reader Review

About the Book

The Ponzi (P.T. Dawkins)
Click to Read an Excerpt
Michael Franklin Jr., a struggling stockbroker, is under siege. During the worst bear market since the crash of ’29, he is quickly losing his legendary father’s former clients and personal friends. A co-worker tries to betray Michael for personal gain only to find his double-crossing ways are unnecessary; Michael is fired.

Jennifer, the girl he wants to marry, has an undisclosed checkered history. She seizes on Michael’s plight to fulfill her own financial dream - building and running a Ponzi scheme – and lures him into the ‘business’. Jennifer chooses their first target, a beautiful young woman who becomes far more than a potential victim. The scheme is a huge success, which presents its own set of challenges since all such scams are truly a house of cards waiting for the fall.

When questions arise about the real nature of the scam, a confrontational triangle develops between Michael and the two women who have become pivotal in his life. Ultimately he must decide between an unbearable choice and the ultimate, and final, escape.
