“Monkey Man: A Crime Story” set in lower Fairfield County is Darien resident David Scott Moore’s first novel, in good part about a subject he learned of as a banker — money laundering. The story takes place in Greenwich and Stamford, in places that Darien readers will recognize. “You never see a story with money laundering as the main theme,” Moore said in a recent interview. He described the book as “kind of like a preppy ‘Goodfellas.'”

Reptiles doing reprehensible things in rep ties? It’s not as if Fairfield County hasn’t had its share of tales of fraudsters and underhanded behavior.
