Mergers and Acquisitions' is the story of Tommy Quinn, a recent Georgetown graduate who has just landed the job of his dreams as an investment banker at J. S. Spenser, and the perfect girl, Frances Sloan, the daughter of one of New York's oldest moneyed families. As he travels from the most exclusive ballrooms of the Racquet and Tennis Club to the stuffiest boardrooms of J. S. Spenser, from the golf links of Piping Rock to the bedrooms of Park Avenue, and from the debaucheries on the yacht of a Mexican billionaire to the Ritalin-strewn prep-school dorm of his younger brother, he finds that the job and the girl are not what they once seemed.'Wickedly funny and smartly written' - 'Financial Times'. '[A] smart, satisfying roman a clef...The story is fast-paced, and his overblown characters are wildly engaging' - 'Washington Post'. 'Dana Vachon exposes the carnal and financial lusts of his generation's privileged and ambitious as few others have in recent years' - Candace Bushnell. 'An expertly observed portrait of modern Manhattan life' - 'Arena'. 'If Holden Caulfield had stuck it out at a good school and landed on Wall Street, he might have written 'Mergers and Acquisitions'...It rocks' - 'Wall Street Journal'.
