NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM FILM MOVEMENT

It's the spring of 2001. Drew Hagel has spent the last decade watching things slip away--his marriage, his real estate brokerage, and his beloved daughter, Shannon, now a distant and mysterious high school senior. But as summer approaches, Drew forms an unexpected friendship with Quint Manning, the manager of a secretive hedge fund. Drew sees the friendship leading to vast, frictionless wealth, but Drew doesn't know that Manning has problems of his own: his Midas touch is abandoning him, his restless wife has grown disillusioned, and his hard-drinking son is careening out of control.
As the fortunes of the Hagels and the Mannings collide, a terrible accident gives Drew the leverage he needs to stay in the game. At once brilliantly observed and masterfully paced, Human Capital "deftly slices open the rich, corrupt heart of suburban America and lets its dark secrets bleed out" (Elle).

Review:

"Amidon nails it. . . . Human Capital is terrific." --The Washington Post Book World

"A splendid novel with the satiric bite of Bonfire of the Vanities . . . terribly well-realized." --The Seattle Times

"Amidon's novel is a wonderfully wicked satire on a twenty- first Century gilded age. . . . His book is more than just one family's story. It's a portrait of a whole society caught in the dead end that everyone insists will lead somewhere after all." --Chicago Tribune

"A gripping, troubling, and incisive portrait of the way we live now . . . has the ambitious sweep and narrative power of a nineteenth-century novel." --Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children

From the Back Cover:
'Amidon's absorbing novel is distinguished above all by its
taut, compelling plot, one hinged by intriguing moral ambiguities' The
Sunday Times

'Amidon has achieved the rare alchemy of creating a novel charged with
suspense from the lives of ordinary suburban families; it's also an
unflinching social commentary that has the potential to endure as a clear
and literate portrait of its time' Observer

'A brilliant examination of the undertow of sadness and desperation that
tugs at the American dream' New Statesman

'It's got more sex, booze and drama than The OC!' New Woman
