Dr. Christina Guarneri’s newest thriller, Flames of Truth: Beyond the Darkness of Wall Street West is a journey beyond the mirrored windows of the city’s high-rise buildings
The book weaves a multi-layered story that follows a Goldman Sachs equities trader, who leaves the comforts and success of the financial world for a journey into the unknown. After experiencing the collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, he deals with the moment as an epiphany, and leaves the comforts of a nation to enlist in the Marines.
Spending time at the frontlines of Iraq before returning home, he is never the same again, as he questions his life decisions. Being given a proclamation for his service upon return, it is then that his life would change again. He takes the chance to run against some of the heavy-hitting elected officials of the city. He comes into it with the understanding of the only way to win is to lose first, as he sets himself up for an even greater fight ahead when he enters the most sought out election the city has ever witnessed…and wins.
