Black Edge: Inside Information, Dirty Money, and the Quest to Bring Down the Most Wanted Manon Wall Street

Black Edge — a New York Times bestseller and The Economist Best Book of the Year — is a gripping true-life legal thriller about billionaire hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen and the government’s seven-year investigation into SAC Capital, one of Wall Street’s most powerful firms. Once hailed as a trading genius, Cohen’s empire collapsed amid accusations of insider trading and a toxic culture driven by the pursuit of “black edge” — illicit information for profit. Though SAC pled guilty, Cohen himself was never charged. Exposing greed, corruption, and unchecked power at the top of finance, Black Edge is a revealing look at how Wall Street’s elite reshaped the global economy.
