Zero Coupon

Like Milken and Boesky, Willy Saxon's a financier extraordinaire. Until his code of honor gets him three years hard time. Now he's free to shake the world's money tree in a daring hustle of global dimensions. He starts with tax-free zero-coupon bonds, and then enters the giddy zero-sum world of futures and options, swaps and inverse floaters. He taps the greed of Wall Street and challenges the arrogance of European bankers, brings both to their knees and bleeds them dry. His accomplice - a stunningly beautiful San Francisco socialite - is even more ruthless than Willy. The plan's airtight. The prize is untold billions. And this time Willy plays for keeps.
