The Key Man is a gripping story of how a charismatic and self-made business leader, Arif Naqvi, founder of Abraaj, a Dubai-based private-equity firm, was able to convince the global elite to invest in his impact investments with the promise of making money and doing good. The book, written by Simon Clark and Will Louch, is based on extensive research and hundreds of documents, and exposes the fraud and racketeering that took place at Abraaj and how it duped investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. It also shines a light on the efforts to clean up global capital flows, and the challenges faced by regulators, investors, and citizens in understanding the opaque private equity industry.
