The leading character is a shoeshine boy from Brazil. Working on Wall Street, he has witnessed scandal, infidelity, and insider trading. Finally, because the discovery of an illegal transaction, he become a spy in the big securities company. I love the book because of it Full of exciting fast-paced. The author combines the serious and humorous, true story with the fictional characters. Let me better understand how to today's Wall Street operate. The story is so true that I believe the richest, luxury and glamorous Wall Street must have some black side that we don't realize. I admire the boy that I think he is very smart. He has ability to make big bosses tell him secrets .And I also admire his moral courage to tell the true .He will meet some dangerous and nervous conditions because doing the spy job. I have not finish the book, but I believe the boy will be safe in the end.

There are many scandals about transaction in Taiwan now. Watching the news, sometime I am confused how the complex crime can be discovered. After I read book, I know that maybe the informer is one you never notice and place on the heart.
