It has been 182 days of vodka and insomnia since Geri Molloy got dumped. A twenty-eight-year-old investment banker, Geri counts the days since her breakup with the same determination that has made her serious capital on her firm's London trading floor. But it is January of 1991, and war in the Middle East is about to shake up the markets—and possibly alter the course of her career.Her firm's biggest client is Felix Mann, a reclusive hedge fund manager in Hong Kong who will only talk to Geri. When Geri finds herself caught up in a high stakes takeover, Felix is game for the power play, but his price tag is Geri's future. Hailed as "the best financial novel since The Bonfire of the Vanities" (Frank Partnoy), Aifric Campbell's On the Floor is a sharp-edged story of love, money, and what it really means for a woman to take control of her life.
