'Very rarely have I come across a book as riveting and thoroughly engaging as GRQ.' - Gale Anne Hurd, Producer of TERMINATOR
Against the backdrop of an earthquake-ravaged Los Angeles, '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.
'Very rarely have I come across a book as riveting and thoroughly engaging as Steven Bernstein’s GRQ. The characters are so vivid and compelling that it wouldn’t surprise me at all if I were to encounter them in real life. An absolute must-read.' - Gale Anne Hurd, Executive Producer of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD; ALIENS
'*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. Well, most of us. Not me, obviously.
A brilliant evisceration of debt and delusion.*' - JP Maxwell, author and award-winning filmmaker
'For me, it feels like it fits right in with where we are as the human race in the 2020's. In the main, a capitalist world where all that matters is making money, profits and people don't matter, as long as more and more money can be made. It's a tale of ambition, greed and aspiration, with an undertone of desperation and intemperance. I read this in one sitting.' @fatguyreading
"The storyline zipped along at pace: funny, worrying and the characters definitely got under my skin. Would make a good movie. Happy to recommend this very quirky read" - Fiona Sharp, Waterstones Durham
