EBOOK Devil's Banker

Hailed as &';the John Grisham of Wall Street&' by the New York Times, Christopher Reich  returns to the world he knows so well--the dangerous, dazzling world of high finance  and international intrigue. In this ingeniously crafted thriller, the bestselling  author of Numbered Account and The First Billion introduces his most complex and  engaging hero yet: forensic accountant Adam Chapel--and paints a frightening scenario  where terrorism is big business and money is the ultimate weapon of war The explosion  that shatters the smart Parisian apartment reverberates around the globe. In an instant,  a suspected terrorist is dead and half a million dollars has vanished. Within days,  the CIA is certain it has found a connection between the dead man and a planned terrorist  attack on U.S. soil. Determined to avert another 9/11, they have assembled an elite  counterterrorist task force, code name: Blood Money. Its mission: to follow the money  trail. Its secret weapon: forensic accountant Adam Chapel. A man who trusts numbers  more than people, Chapel has his own reasons for wanting to get the job done-- four  of his colleagues were killed in the Paris blast. Now Chapel is thrust back into  the line of fire when he teams up with British intelligence agent Sarah Churchill.  The two are assigned to hunt down a shadowy mastermind who is moving vast sums of  money from country to country, from bank to bank, leaving no tracks--as he prepares  for an Armaggedon of his own devising.  As Chapel follows a disappearing money trail  from Paris to Munich to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Sarah uses her elite training  to stalk the &';shadow&' and his elusive network. Meanwhile, their quarry is auditing  their every move, laying a twisting trail of false clues and shocking surprises.  With the clock ticking down, soon Chapel and Sarah have only days, hours, minutes  to avert disaster as a master terrorist plots to unleash the first strike in a brilliantly  orchestrated conspiracy--with an almost unimaginable goal.  Hurtling us from the  winding alleys of Pakistan to the elite banking houses of Europe, The Devil&'s Banker creates an adrenaline-fueled world where following the money has never been more  dangerous, and evil has never been harder to unmask.BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Christopher Reich&'s The Prince of Risk.
