Get the book
The architect
“Four trillion dollars are frozen. One engineer saw it coming.”
Opens on the money and lands on the person. The attack is the reason to keep reading, and the engineer who saw it coming is the reason the book is not another Wall Street thriller.
The review
“A brisk financial thriller buoyed by a powerful emotional throughline.”
Third-party proof. A verdict from a name a reader can go and check outranks anything the author says about his own book, so the quote takes the top of the frame.
The heist
“A high-tech bank heist. The world on the brink of war.”
The plot at its most propulsive. What is being stolen, what it costs, and the structure that makes this book different from every other Wall Street thriller.
The cipher
“The global financial system is under attack.”
The detail people repeat to each other. A failsafe hidden in a family recipe book, readable only by the children who lived those meals.
