This is the absolute best one to start with. It has essentially everything you need to know, from if you'd study B.Sc. Finance. The later chapters have some grad/phd finance level stuff. Everything is also taught using jargon/notations that's actually used in the real world.

John Hull from Rotman (Toronto) also has a lot of free resources on his website and writes serious academic papers as well as industry white papers.
