The Spider Network by David Enrich
In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers made a startling realization: Libor - the London interbank offered rate - was set daily by a small group of easily manipulated administrators, and that they could reap huge profits by nudging it fractions of a percent to suit their trading portfolios. This book deals with this scam.
