About the book:

     A Financial Thriller That Will Keep Readers on the Edge of Their Seats

     Esther Larsen, a leading risk analyst at one of the country’s largest banking institutions, is becoming more and more convinced that she has uncovered a ticking bomb with the potential to overshadow 2008’s market crash. And as her own employer pursues “investment” strategies with ever-increasing levels of risk, she becomes convinced she must do something. Yet what can one person really do?

     The markets are edging closer to a tipping point-like the teetering first domino in a standing row that circles the globe. And when Esther does sound the alarm, she wonders if anyone will take her seriously. But as public support grows for her ideas, so does the desperation of those whose conspiracy of greed she seeks to expose. With global markets on the brink, and her own life in danger, Esther is locked in a race with the clock to avert a worldwide financial meltdown.

     This fast-paced suspense novel will make you wonder where the fiction ends and reality begins . . .

My review:

     This is an incredible, heart-pounding, financial thriller!

     I really liked Esther Larsen at the very beginning of the book. It was amazing how much more I loved her by the end of the story. She had grown and matured so much throughout the book. She learned how to see beyond her own like to those around her. She found she had a number of supportive people ready and willing to help her with each and everything that she faced.

     The plot of this book was very intense. There were a lot of details given about how investing works. Most of this went beyond my ability to understand. But when I put aside the attempt to figure it all out the excitement only built a lot more for me. I was completely caught up in the story and HAD to see how things turned out for Esther and all of her friends.

     I am definitely giving this marvelous book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
