Den of Thieves

Book • 1991
This book tells the full story of the insider-trading scandal that nearly destroyed Wall Street.

It focuses on four of the biggest names of the 1980s—Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, and Dennis Levine—who created the greatest insider-trading ring in financial history.

Based on secret grand jury transcripts, interviews, and actual trading records, the book weaves all the facts into an unforgettable narrative—a portrait of human nature, big business, and crime of unparalleled proportions.

The story highlights the chase by a team of detectives and the eventual justice brought to these powerful figures.
