Bestselling Author Todd Buchholz to Appear at Mysterious Galaxy

Ipswich, Mass. (PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- Former White House Director of Economic Policy and bestselling author, Todd Buchholz, will appear at Mysterious Galaxy (7051 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Suite 302, San Diego, phone: 858-268-4747) on Friday, June 15, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss his extraordinarily timely and controversial debut novel, The Castro Gene.

The Castro Gene (Oceanview, ISBN-10: 1-933515-06-6, ISBN-13: 978-1-933515-06-9) sweeps readers into the secretive and dangerous world of hedge funds, along with the explosive politics of Havana and Washington, D.C. Only someone with Buchholz's experience could have created this fast-paced thriller. An internationally known financial commentator, award-winning economics professor at Harvard, renowned hedge fund guru, and best-selling author of New Ideas from Dead Economists, Buchholz, according to the Associated Press, "lights up economics with a wickedly sparkling wit."

The Castro Gene combines that wit with crackling, page-turning suspense destined to heat up -- and shake up -- the world of fiction.

The Storyline ...
In the last days of his dictatorship, Fidel Castro risks one last mission. And one young man is forced to stand in his way.

After tragedy mars his boxing career, young Luke Braden tries to reinvent himself as a Wall Street hotshot. While toiling as a security guard, he is swept up into the high-flying domain of hedge fund king Paul Tremont. Being Tremont's protégé certainly has its perks -- Luke trades in his ratty basement apartment for a penthouse view, his worn gym clothes for designer suits. But there are strings attached -- and Paul Tremont is tugging those strings. Tremont is grooming Luke for something--but for what? Why would this wealthy, eccentric, mogul need a washed-up boxer? The answer lies not in what Luke Braden is, but who Luke Braden is. Paul Tremont knows the truth: Luke Braden is the only man who can execute Tremont's diabolical scheme.

Will Luke escape a shocking conspiracy of the past -- or, for that matter, the jarring truth of the present? Luke Braden is in for the fight of his life -- or the fight for his life.

Intricately plotted with unexpected twists and breathtaking turns that reveal hidden secrets of Vegas's Rat Pack days and the most astonishing theory of the Kennedy assassination to burst forth in 40 years, The Castro Gene is an unforgettable knockout.
