A tough, topical financial thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of Wall Street.
After a stint in the Middle East, black ops vet Silas Cade becomes an "accountant"-the go-to for financiers who need things done quickly, quietly, and by any means necessary. Silas is hired by a major player to pay a visit to a hedge fund manager to demand clawback: the mandatory return of compensation paid on a deal that goes bad. But before Cade can tell his client that he got his ten million back, the guy turns up dead.
And he's not the first. Someone's killing investment bankers whose funds have gone south. Silas's scrubbed identity, and his insider's perspective, makes him the ideal shadow man to track down whoever's murdering some of the most hated managers on Wall Street. With the aid of a beautiful financial blogger looking to break her first big story, Silas tracks a violent security crew who may be the key to the executions. But as paranoia and panic spread, he begins to wonder: is the threat coming from inside the game-or out?
With breakneck pacing, nonstop action, and cutting edge details of today's financial intelligence technology, Clawback hurtles to its final twist, a gripping contemporary tale of shady finance, venal corruption, and greed run rampant.

"A witty, clever page-turner with an original hero I could really cheer for! While reading I really felt like I could see this book as a movie. It would be lot of fun to cast the various parts. If you're looking for a smart, exciting thriller, this is the book for you!"

" This book is just bad. The plot moved along quickly enough, but if you've ever picked up a mystery book you'll have no problem guessing what is going to happen within the first few chapters. I kept reading, thinking surely it couldn't be that obvious, but unfortunately it was. I also struggled with the writers style. The fight scenes were overly descriptive and went on for too many pages, much like reading the stage directions for an action movie or something. Then more intriguing parts like Silas' long lost brother, and time in the foster care system are mentioned briefly and then dropped like they never existed. "

— Jim, 12/5/2013" A tightly written thriller. Lots of fun! Highly recommend it. "
— Ray, 10/28/2013" I won this book on good reads. I know that it was an advanced copy so there were typos, but there were enough in some parts I had to reread a few time to get what was happening. That is my only grip without the typos I think it would have been a really good book. Good story line. "
— Heather, 8/31/2012" I adore this book. Okay, okay, so my brother wrote it :) - - but I like to think that I'm objective enough to know a thrilling read when I see one, and this is one fantastic story! "
