Synopsis

One wrong number. $4.8 billion. Nine days.

On a Monday morning at 7:42 AM, Déclan Vane finds a $340 million discrepancy in an overnight margin summary. He reads every line. He catches things. This time, what he catches will cost him everything he's spent eleven years building.

Arcadia Family Capital is a family office running $104 billion in synthetic leverage across five prime brokers — and not one of those banks knows the full picture. Each has been given a different version of the truth, calibrated precisely to prevent the question that would expose everything.

When VistaCom Media Group announces a $3.2 billion secondary offering at a discount, the margin calls begin. And when Arcadia can't cover them, the banks stop cooperating and start competing. First to sell survives. Last to sell eats the loss.

Crédit Solvay will be last.

ARCADIA FAMILY CAPITAL is a white-knuckle financial thriller drawn from the mechanics of one of the most dramatic market collapses of the modern era. In the tradition of the best Wall Street fiction — propulsive, technically precise, morally complicated — it asks the question every risk officer fears: What do you do when the thing you suspected turns out to be worse than you imagined, and your signature is already on the page?

For readers of: Liar's Poker • Too Big to Fail • The Big Short • Margin Call

The The Margin Call Chronicles is a series of standalone financial thrillers. Each book dramatizes a different market crisis. Each one will make you look differently at the numbers you thought were safe.
