His novels of big money and murder in the world of finance have
earned "New York Times" bestselling author Stephen Frey a richly
deserved reputation as a master of suspense who always delivers a
high yield. Now he raises the stakes, and the risk factor, in a new
thriller that pits a young Wall Street player against corporate
conspiracy and White House intrigue--in a dangerous game of double
crosses, dirty tricks, and deadly consequences.
An investment banker in the maverick firm Phenix Capital, Conner
Ashby is doing all right for himself. At twenty-seven, he's
practically the right-hand man of the company's founder--a wealthy
old pro looking to make a big comeback on The Street while grooming
Conner for a place at the top. Between his career and his gorgeous
girlfriend, it's a good life, with every indication of getting even
better--until a wayward E-mail crosses Conner's computer, and
plunges his near-perfect world into a terrifying downward spiral.
""The 'operation' is way out of hand. If we don't do something,
it's going to detonate." "It's a communication not meant for
Conner's eyes, between people he doesn't know, about a company he's
never heard of--a company that's engaged in corporate fraud on a
massive scale. With no way to trace the E-mail, it's impossible for
Conner to act on the volatile discovery. But with millions of
dollars at stake, high-powered careers in the balance, and hell to
pay if the truth comes out, whoever clicked the "send" button by
mistake isn't about to take any chances. And for Conner, the
evening that began in the arms of a beautiful woman ends in a
harrowing race for his life.
As he follows a twisting trail of misdeeds and misinformation that
stretches nationwide, Conner slowly uncovers a shocking plot as
undeniably real as the gunshot wound in his arm. Now, surviving
will mean struggling to expose the truth as relentlessly as his
shadowy enemies seek to conceal it-- and fighting for his life as
ruthlessly as those determined to end it.
At every unexpected turn, "Shadow Account" deftly reveals Stephen
Frey's many and considerable gifts: his genius for plotting, his
mastery of suspense, and his unmatched insight into the dark
territory where finance meets felony, money meets mortality, and
profit and loss are matters of life and death.
