Mr. Herreshoff's self deprecating and often times hilarious anecdotes leave the reader with a radically different take on both Wall Street and the Financial Crisis. Magnificently written and marvelously entertaining.

The prisoner who wakes up in a box miles from anywhere. The jailer who doesn't question his job. The shipment of drones stolen from a cargo hub. The terrorists planning a devastating attack on US soil. When drone expert James Chadwick disappears, Cruxys Solutions investigators Ruth Gonzales and Andy Vaslik are assigned to track his last movements. With few clues to go on, the hunt moves from London to New York, gathering speed as they close in on a horrifying plan to kill the US president and inflict total damage on an Air Force base. The countdown to a new era of destruction has begun. Gonzalez and Vaslik are the only ones who can stop it. Praise: "With some intriguing characters (especially private-security experts Gonzales and Vaslik—a nice mix of superheroes and regular folks); some snappy writing; and a timely story, the novel should find a large and enthusiastic audience among fans of Daniel Silva and Alex Berenson."—Booklist "Much of the pleasure in reading this tangled yarn from the prolific Magson comes from putting the pieces toghether along with his pair of sleuths...they have nice chemistry and banter with aplomb."—Kirkus Reviews
