In this timely stand-alone thriller, bestselling author James Grippando explores a world in which the destruction of financial institutions and the people who run them can occur in a matter of hours--perhaps, even minutes.

Twenty-nine-year-old Nick Reyes is a rising star at Saxton Silvers, a high-level investment banking firm on Wall Street.  His life is going according to plan until the love of his life, Ivy Layton, disappears one night on their Bahamas sailing vacation turned impromptu honeymoon, and is never found.  Seven years later, it's the eve of Nick's thirty-fifth birthday, and he is still right on track:  successful career, a beautiful new wife named Valerie, and wealthy.  Reveling in his good fortune, Nick logs into his computer, enters his password, and pulls up his biggest investment account: zero balance.  He tries another, and another.  All of them zero.  Then the ding of a new email: "Just as planned. xo xo."  With these three words Nick is left alone, framed, with no one to trust: Valerie wants a divorce, his personal net worth is gone, and his firm -- worth $850 billion a week ago -- is now on the bring of bankruptcy.
