Title: READ THIS BOOK NOW!
Review: Conflicted is a fast-paced visit through the previously cloaked halls of an equity research department. So that's what happens in there! While we have all read a lot about the investment-banking conflicts with which many real-life analysts have shamed Wall Streeters, Culp exposes many other temptations that lure analysts to behave in dishonest ways and are well rewarded for it. Michael Culp's novel is revealing, enlightening, and entertaining. The character development is so rich as to put a face on each name, to empathize with Robin, to feel Carl's sleaziness, and to imagine the skid marks left behind by Ken's Bentley. Culp's story-telling is captivating. The story's cadence is strong. I could easily visualize the action as it played out. It takes only a few initial pages to get sucked in. Then, you're hooked through the last word.
