Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for
Financial Markets (http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com),
"a fascinating account of the rise and fall of Knight."
Perez, recently interviewed on CNBC's Squawk On The Street by anchors

on August 1, 2013, the day of the first anniversary of the trading
debacle that almost brought down the firm.
In
the heartfelt note available at http://www.MrEdgarPerez.com,
Turner wrote to Perez: "I recently purchased Knightmare on Wall
Street on Kindle and I congratulate you on a fascinating account of

and Director of Knight from 1995 to 2003. Wishing you much success on
this publication."
