In a new stand-alone novel from New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, a young Wall Street advisor and his girlfriend uncover a financial scheme that reaches into the halls of government.
Abe Cushman, the evil genius behind a sixty-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme, has killed himself and taken his secrets to the grave.
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 secret operation, and to a cabal of powerful government officials determined to keep their agenda secret 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.
