Ben Skull (Alias)

behind the story
Ben Skull is the author behind Wall Street Mafia, a gripping fictional take on the dark intersection of high finance and organized crime. Ben uses a pen name and introduces a vibrant and new point of view to financial thrillers.
Though the author’s own life is mostly private, his writing tells us a lot—giving us intense, hard-hitting stories that shine a light on the corruption and disorder typically concealed on Wall Street. Besides being a story, this book takes readers deep into a place where powerful interests mix with money and secrets.

Skull’s keen eye for financial scams and vocal style make this book feel like it could. Based on both his years of research and his own experiences in the finance industry, Wall Street Mafia is his outstanding first novel.

Hiding under a pen name is a true believer in truth, ugly or not. Ben sees fiction as the best means for sharing knowledge that people avoid hearing.
