Publisher Description
A job he shouldn't have taken... A woman he shouldn't have loved... A secret he shouldn't expose...if he wants to live. Nick Neumann had it all: a Harvard degree, a beautiful fiancée, a star-making Wall Street career. But behind the dazzling veneer of this golden boy is a man haunted by the brutal killing of his father seventeen years before. Now chilling new evidence has implicated his father's employer, the United Swiss Bank, in the crime. Nick doesn't know how. Or why. But he has a plan to find out: move to Zurich. Work for the same bank. Follow in his father's footsteps. Look for the same secrets...and uncover something so shocking, so unexpected, justice may not be enough. For as a circle of treachery tightens around him, as a woman with secrets of her own enters his life, Nick makes another chilling discovery. Not just about his father but about himself. And how far he's willing to go to find out what happened seventeen years before--when a man died and a conspiracy was born.

"Christopher Reich created a new sub-genre with the financial thriller (at least in my opinion) by creating some very carefully constructed characters who seem real enough to know. The plot twists weren't expected, and the bad guy was a good one. I hope you give this one a try. "
— Steven (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good suspense. My first Reich, will read more. "
— Rob, 1/29/2014 -
" If you're into those crazy thriller mysteries, read this book. It was a page turner and had tons of plot turns. If the thought of Heroin rings and Swiss bank accounts interests you, read this one. "
— Cassie, 1/12/2014 -
" A good, complex, satisfying thriller. "
— Sue, 1/11/2014 -

" A good story. It was a bit slow and I had to force myself to get through it, but the last half of the book was really good and fast-paced. "
— Marina, 1/5/2014 -

— Carol, 1/3/2014 -
" I had heard good things about this author'c current books, and I wanted to start reading from his first book... not that it's part of a series. pretty good book, soft ending prevented it from being a really good book. "
— Amy, 12/7/2013 -

" Too Slow..Story was great only if it was told a little better "
— Arjit, 10/8/2013 -
" This a book that is a real page turner. The story concerns Swiss banking, drug lords, money laundering along with murder. It is well written and keeps you glued to your seat. "
— Brian, 9/26/2013 -
" I just read this on vacation after first reading First Billion. I liked this book better than First Billion. I am amazed that Christopher Reich is able to take so many twists and turns that I am unprepared for. There are few authors that I've read that have that gift. "
— Steve, 1/28/2013 -

— Rupesh, 12/7/2012 -
" This book was excellent but very long. The names of all the Swiss places threw me off a bit. Loved the plot. Ending was okay. Overall a good read I enjoyed it. "
— Melissa, 3/12/2012 -
" Interesting! Information about international finances. "
— C.j., 2/1/2012 -
" A very difficult book to get into. It is over 700 pages long and the first 300 are dull and boring, all about high financing and Swiss banks. It finally picks up and the last half is pretty good with lots of action. I almost quit reading this one before it began to go somewhere. "
— Jeff, 12/27/2011 -
" how complex the global monetary system is and how flawed it can be. learned never to trust recommendations of any financial consultant without getting my own information "
— Millicent, 12/10/2011 -
" Reich takes the words "follow the money" to a whole new level. "

" First book I have read by this author. Good story line and well written. I look forward to reading more by this author. "
— Tim, 7/22/2011 -
" COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER<br/><br/>At the beginning the story is riveting, however during the second half of the book, there are many twists not too credible at all, "the hero is like superman" figthing thugs, which makes the end somewhat disappointing "
— Manugw, 6/15/2011 -
" I think that I may have picked up another author that I have to burn through all of the books he has ever written from start to finish. "

" Swiss Banking is not infallible. Good adventure book. "
— Dottie, 8/30/2010 -
" This book was fun, quick read but suffered from numerous shortfalls. The premise was completely unoriginal, the plot was little more than half-decent, the characters lacked real depth and the dialogue was disappointing. Still, as thrillers go this wasn't too bad. "
— Stefan, 8/25/2010 -
" Fine effort for a first novel. If you're interested in international banking, this is informative and paced pretty well. "
