Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of a level of political and financial corruption Washington and Wall Street doesn't want told. Washington lobbyist Tim Ryan has mastered the art of collecting and monetizing non-public information for his clients, and has proven he will do anything to get crucial information on legislative and regulatory proposals. When Tim faces scrutiny from federal enforcement agencies, loyalties are tested as he tries to protect himself and his friends on Wall Street, but wonders if he can rely on his clients to protect him. As the pressures on him mounts, Tim's personal demons spiral out of control, and he begins to question the fundamental value of his life and profession. "Buy the Rumor" is a fictional account of the illegal flow of information from Washington to Wall Street. The book sheds light on the routine nature of political and financial corruption, and explores the impact corruption has on the individuals who perpetrate it.
