James B. Stewart, a senior journalist and novelist, is now a special correspondent for The New Yorker. He won the Pulitzer Prize for articles about the 1987 stock crash and insider trading, which later evolved into the content of this book, Den of Thieves.

In his writing, complex issues and events are presented as clear and easy to understand. As a result, The San Francisco Examiner called him “the journalist every journalist would like to be.”
