About
Wall Street Hijack is the adaptation from the Dutch Thriller ‘Het Orderboek’ by Mario Kluser into a graphic novel. Linguistic assisted by his sister Ilaria Papini (who turns his English into native language) he decided to combine the urge he felt for a translation with one of his other passions: drawing.
The result is a huge project that will probably span over two years and once it is done it is done. Yes, this story really has an end. Read the translated back-flap of the book beneath:
Wall Street Hijack
Jack Acers is the head of the IT-department at P&S Steel in Detroit. Quite a good job, if there wheren’t his frustrations: he feels underpaid, loses his savings on the stock market and he is in love with his much younger trainee Amber. As if this isn’t enough, his boss, Martin Farlain, is refusing him a pay-rise.
One day Jack receives a telephone call from his mental mentor Jorgo, which he hadn’t contact with in years. His friend is meanwhile successful active on Wall Street. During a visit Jorgo explains Jack how easy it is to earn his lost savings back. Jack is more then lucky when he notices that with Jorgo’s plan also Martin Farlain can be punished.
The two friends manipulate the order book of the stock market and the flow of money begins. Finally Jack can afford all the luxury he think he deserves. Also his love-life takes a positive turn. But when Jack in the early morning of September 20 2003 awakes on a beach, the tide is turning. Jack is just one mouse-click far off from hell.
