The Umbrella Men

A witty, fast-paced and acerbic novel set in pristine Oregon and the corporate corridors of New York, London and China. A story for our times where finance, environmentalism, rare-earth mining and human frailties collide in a complex of flawed motives.

The Big Short meets Succession in this blisteringly smart, darkly funny thriller about mining, money, and moral compromise.

When Peter Mount, CEO of a small British mining company, places his bets on a rare-earths bonanza in Oregon, he sets off a chain of events that spans continents - and threatens to unravel his life. But while shareholders chase profit and bankers sharpen their knives, a disillusioned New Yorker and a restless Native American activist begin to fight back.

Keith Carter’s debut novel is a gripping exposé of corporate greed, environmental peril, and the fragile moral compasses of those at the top. Unflinching, insightful, and wickedly entertaining, The Umbrella Men will change the way you look at the suits behind the scandals - and the cost of digging too deep.
