Snowed-Out Vonnegut at Bookstore April 1

Wealth advisor-turned-novelist Norb Vonnegut will read from and discuss his new Wall Street thriller Top Producer on Thursday, April 1 at 7 pm at the Colgate Bookstore on 3 Utica Street.  A book-signing and reception will follow. This event, postponed from earlier this month by bad weather, is free and open to the public.

In Top Producer, protagonist Grove O'Rourke is a rising star at the brokerage firm of Sachs, Kidder, and Carnegie.  After he and several hundred others witness his close friend Charlie Keleman die in the most gruesome way imaginable, Grove sets out to help Charlie's widow. Charlie was a financial whiz and the genius behind a fantastic hedge fund, but the money he was managing seems to have vanished.

Vonnegut is a wealth adviser who writes about Wall Street's behavior behind the headlines. He built an extensive career with Morgan Stanley, Paine Webber, and other Wall Street institutions. He graduated from Harvard in 1980 and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1986.

Vonnegut is now editing The Fund, a thriller scheduled to print in the winter of 2010/2011.
