Some days after finishing the book I can hardly remember what was it about. Or better to say - everything except for the main idea has gone - this phase actually could sum up all my thoughts concerning the story.

Coming closer to the plot - detective story set in backstage of finance or more exactly big money world with Hollywood style happy-ending.
I am not going to explore all the plot and details, as usully, there are good guy, hiding bad guy who looks like good, relatively bad More...

You might call this an investment company thriller. I know a little about stocks and bonds, but nothing about artitrage. Jay West is anxious to make the big bucks. If he does what his bosses tell him to do, he is promised a bonus of a million dollars come January. They, however, don't plan to pay up, and are in an illegal scheme to make money for themselves. Can he keep from getting framed, or killed?

Not too much of a page turner, but an okay read. Pretty predictable, I guessed from the beginning what Sally's true character was. Not so sure I would read other books from this author, unless I am on a really long flight or something of the like.

I wish i could give this book 3.5 stars. It was somewhat predictable but entertaining. But it sure makes you think about where all our money is going. Hmmmmm...

Frey delivers another very good novel. His books are not literary masterpieces; he builds suspense through good protagonists and even better antagonists.

This one was a little predictable, especially if you know the Frey formula. But still very good.

Excellent descriptive writing. I felt I could see what was happening, yet there were the twists and what I thought I saw was not what it was. Edge of your seat mystery.

Falls in line with his other books. You'll get what you expect from this. Good if you like financial thrills.
