Description
The Umbrella Men by Keith Carter is a darkly funny thriller that exposes corporate greed and environmental peril. When Peter Mount's mining company places bets on a rare-earths bonanza, it sets off a chain of events that spans continents and threatens to unravel his life. As shareholders chase profit and bankers sharpen their knives, a disillusioned New Yorker and a restless Native American activist begin to fight back against the suits behind the scandals. Keith Carter's debut novel is an unflinching exposé of the fragile moral compasses of those at the top - and the cost of digging too deep. This gripping thriller will change the way you look at the world of high finance, where profit often comes at a steep environmental price.
