The High/Low by Khosrow (Hoss) Motalaby
A financial thriller where the biggest gamble isn’t the market; it’s the mind.
In The High/Low, Hoss Motalaby crafts a raw, intense narrative about one man’s pursuit of perfection in a world ruled by unpredictability. It’s more than just a story about stock trading; it’s about the cost of chasing control in a chaotic world.
The protagonist, a brilliant but obsessive trader, builds a near-perfect system to “beat the market.” But as wins pile up, so does the pressure; and the addiction. What starts as a calculated game becomes a psychological battleground, where ego, fear, and addiction blur the line between strategy and self-destruction.
The novel dives deep into the psychology of risk, the seductive nature of success, and the illusion of control. Whether you’re fascinated by finance, or captivated by characters on the edge, The High/Low grips from the first page and doesn’t let go.
