The book received many positive reviews upon release, including from Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series, who said Undermoney was "essential reading—makes your heart beat faster, like a thriller should, but also teaches you something big, which most thrillers don't."

Before his debut novel, Jay spent forty years in international finance. He managed investments in sovereign debt, including the distressed sovereign debt of Latin American, Eastern European, African, and Asian countries. Newman is considered the mastermind behind the fight to recover billions of dollars in defaulted debt from the government of Argentina. The return was 392 percent of the original value of the bonds and is considered one of the greatest hedge fund trades of all time.
