David Heart, a young stockbroker analyst, naïve and inexperienced, is thrust into the harsh reality of share trading. The floor dealer despises him, and Sandy Allen, with an agenda of her own, takes him under his wing and gives him a few hard truths about his job and how to survive. Both of them get involved in insider trading with an executive of a pharmaceutical company who thought he could make a few quick millions. When the Securities and Exchange Commission start their investigation, Sandy maneuvers David to take the fall, unaware that he made plans to cover himself.
The Analyst takes the reader on a diverting foray into the cutthroat world of investment dealing and what people will do for money and power. The work moves slowly at times, has needless background diversions, and the plot is somewhat predictable; it is, nonetheless, worth persisting with if you love getting immersed in financial double-dealing.
P.T. Dawkins clearly knows his business and the workings of the share market. His writing is fluid, easy to read and does enough to keep the reader interested.
