For Patrick Lloyd, a young Wall Street advisor at the world's largest Swiss bank, Cushman's fall has unexpected-and deadly-repercussions. His girlfriend, Lilly, is directly tied to billions of dollars in losses suffered by Cushman's most dangerous "victims," a group of powerful investors whose identities and dirty finances are shrouded in secrecy. What Lilly knows can get her and Patrick killed, and now the pair are in a run for their lives that leads to the heart of a secret operation, and to a cabal of powerful officials determined to keep their agenda hidden from the public.
With no place to turn and no one to trust, Patrick and Lilly must uncover the truth before they become collateral damage in a "financial war" where casualties are no longer measured in dollars and cents.
This story ripped from today's headlines gets started and does not let you go until you turn the last page. The line dividing the good guys for the bad guys is always changing which makes for an intense thriller. I tried a few times throughout the day to put it down and failed. A thought provoking as well as highly entertaining book.Author: James Grippando

I know my friend would surely enjoy this one :)
I like how this one is current to what's going on today. Sounds like a great thriller. I don't read near enough from this genre but I should change that one of these days!
This does sound like a story one could see in the headlines. It sounds very riveting!
An author on my shelf that I haven't read yet!
I don't read a lot of thrillers but I do love them and I especially like a book I can't put down!
When you TRY to put it down but can't, you know you've got a good book! :)
