For more than twenty years, Ben Lieberman worked in institutional sales and trading for some of the most venerable banks in the world. He spent time at JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, Royal Bank of Canada, and even Lehman Brothers at the very end during the financial meltdown of 2008. The trading floor provided a competitive and sometimes ruthless environment that Lieberman has been able to transfer into his darkly humorous bestselling crime thrillers. Lieberman currently resides in Westchester, New York.
