Mike’s brother has been trapped in a powerful conspiracy to steal a secret worth billions from a hidden linchpin of the American economy: a real-life, little-known trading desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Forced to choose between an honest life and his only sibling, Mike returns to the dark skills of his past in order to accomplish the job himself. Cornered by the dangerous men in high places, he will beat them at their own game or die trying.
After thoroughly enjoying debut novel, The 500, and loving Mike Ford, I was excited to see his return in The Directive. Mike is glad to be alive and planning his wedding to Annie. His brother gets himself in a bit of trouble and asks for Mike's help. Things are not going to be easy, and just when Mike thinks he has it figured out it gets worse. Mike is smart, snarky, and always has a plan b, c, and d! Suspense, fast-paced action, humor make this a great summer book. Jay Snyder did an excellent job narrating.

Maybe not for me, but still, it sounds good
I know I've got at least one of Quirk's books around here - this sounds terrific to me!
I too have this somewhere in the house. It does sound good.
New author to me! Thanks for sharing his name; I will check him out soon. Glad you enjoyed it.
I still need to read the 500!
