Frey (read 9 July 2006) This is a 1995 'thriller' laid in the investment banking world and is like a John Grisham book substituting investment bankers for lawyers. It is a very fast-moving and exciting story but it is so outlandish that it is never credible, and the central character is an immoral guy who I kept telling myself not to be too concerned about since it would not be a loss if he got his comeuppance. The outcome is not what I as a good Democrat would have hoped for, and it is all fantastic and unreal and extremely non-subtle but it catches one up and I found myself eager to read in it. Investment banker Andrew Falcon is spearheading , the biggest hostile takeover in Wall Street history and counting on a staggering five-million-dollar fee if he can pull it off. But Falcon doesn't realize that he has stumbled onto the secret power of a shadowy organization known only as The Sevens. He discovers a scheme so interwoven in financial and political sabotage, so vast and brilliantly designed, that it staggers the imagination. His only chance to stop it depends on taking overwhelming risks--and learning which of the two beautiful women in his life can be trusted. Andrew Falcon's struggle for survival begins as he tries to outwit his betrayers--and a hidden enemy whose hatred is implacable. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The fawning secretary that follows him around and does everything he tells her to (including screwing him) was a bit much. Pretty stereotypical. And the ultimate stereotypical ending with them on a beach in the Caribbean – please! Of course they have defeated the bad guys and came out millions of dollars richer. It was and ending worthy of the hideously untalented John Grisham. ( )
