Description

Against the backdrop of an earthquake-ravaged Los Angeles, 'GRQ' (Get Rich Quick) follows one man's desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. Marlon, grappling with a personal tragedy, is enticed by a mysterious financial advisor promising a surefire path to wealth. But as Marlon's high-stakes gambles spiral out of control, the line between salvation and destruction blurs. Unfolding over a single tension-filled day, Marlon must confront not only his financial ruin, but the dark secrets haunting his family.

A pulse-pounding descent into the dangers of unchecked ambition and the real-world costs of chasing the dream.

Critical Reviews

'Very rarely have I come across a book as riveting and thoroughly engaging as GRQ.' - Gale Anne Hurd, Producer of TERMINATOR

I loved it: it feels like a dreamlike odyssey. A book perfectly suited for our era - a world where financial gain overshadows everything else, reminiscent of 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. The short chapters and vignettes hit you at breakneck speed.' - Tom Walker, Actor (Jonathan Pie)

'This little book of wisdom is an iChing for the mid 2020s. Marlon is the infernal dumbass in his schemes to Get Rich Quick, to the despair of his darling Viola. The problem is that there's a Marlon in all of us. A brilliant evisceration of debt and delusion.' - JP Maxwell, author and award-winning filmmaker

'A visceral, high-intensity rollercoaster on the dark workings of gambling. Bernstein manages to capture the raw reality of someone doing anything it takes to seek fortune. It's an important, firecracker of a novella.' - Connor Hutchinson, Author of 'Dead Lucky' (Corsair)
