Ty Hauck is shattered by the news. A close friend from his past, along with her husband and daughter, has been brutally murdered in her home by vicious intruders. Now he will risk everything he loves to avenge her death.

A wealthy banker, seeing his world about to crumble around him, knows his family is in unfathomable danger....

A U.S. government agent watches the sudden bank transfers of millions in cash and suspects that this is the first step in a plot to unleash a wave of global panic....

Ty Hauck hunts the murderer of a friend—and steps into the crosshairs of a sinister conspiracy—in this most electrifying novel yet from New York Times best-selling thriller master Andrew Gross

Private security investigator Ty Hauck, with Naomi Blum, a tenacious agent from the U.S. Department of Treasury, unravels the evidence that joins these seemingly unrelated events, revealing a reckless scheme that stretches from New York to London to central Europe and gives new meaning to the phrase "too big to fail". What began with a tragedy that opened a door to Hauck's past—a door that he thought was long closed—ends with a frantic race to avert a disaster that could shake the very security of our country and even the world.

      Former police detective Ty Hauck, now a partner in a worldwide security company, displays his usual bulldog tenacity in bestseller Gross’s sketchily plotted third Ty Hauck novel (after Don’t Look Twice
      ). The murders of Marc Glassman, the chief equities trader at an old Wall Street firm, Glassman’s wife, and one of their children at their Greenwich, Conn., home affect Hauck deeply. Meanwhile, his boss asks him to investigate shadowy financier Dieter Thibault, who’s aroused the interest of a valued customer. Probing the connections among seismic disturbances in the financial markets, Glassman’s death, and Thibault’s actions, Hauck teams with Treasury agent Naomi Blum only to find their every action anticipated and countered. Against international conspiracies and financial institutions in freefall, Hauck and Blum have to go rogue. Thriller fans able to overlook clichés like “wet behind the ears” and “hit them like a truck” will enjoy the fast-flowing action. 6-city author tour.

      Tired of life in the police force, Ty Hauck opts to try his hand as an executive with an international security company. He soon finds himself investigating leads to a far-reaching conspiracy to bring down the global financial markets. Christian Hoff delivers an underplayed performance. His voice remains calm and collected yet manages to convey a variety of emotions through subtle shifts in tone and pacing. Hoff offers only slight shifts for dialogue, but the results are well differentiated and fully believable. As Hauck himself, Hoff is all business: dry, witty, driven to succeed. A mediocre story is made more enjoyable by Hoff's performance. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
