“Brutally effective . . . Harrison spins a fast-paced NYC crime novel. . . . Start reading this book and prepare to cancel all other plans for the next seven hours or so.” —Entertainment Weekly
Jin Li is a beautiful, driven young woman running a dangerous little operation. Manhattan corporations hire her for a simple but delicate task: to shred and destroy their highly classified documents. But they don’t know that she and her brother, Chen, have been using their discarded secrets to game the international markets, making a pile of cash. When someone uncovers their scheme, two of Jin Li’s workers die a grisly death, and Jin is on the run. Her brother extorts Jin’s old flame, Ray Grant—a man with a disturbing 9/11 past—to track her down. He’ll have to comb every strata of New York, from the brutal Mexican mafia to the greed-fueled penthouse billionaires of Wall Street, to find her . . .
An intricate tale of avarice, corruption, and power, Colin Harrison’s masterful thriller is a “brilliantly executed novel” (The Baltimore Sun).
“A chilling, high-speed roller coaster of a ride that doubles as a sardonic sightseeing tour of the seamier side of New York City.” —The New York Times
