• hell, yeah!
  Twisted, unexpected. I read mostly non-fiction economics. Vance rocked. His characters are evil and realistic and as multi-faceted as you would expect in a world of high finance. Lots of plot turns. Encore! As an alumni, I especially appreciated he didn't trash GSCO.

  The plot is so ridiculous, when it is figured out, the reader is bothered that a talented story teller couldn't find a better story. Maybe next time.

• Harlan Coben with an edge
  Like a Harlan Coben book or a Hitchcock film, this book starts with an ordinary man that gets involved in extraordinary events through no fault of his own. Unlike a Coben book however, the characters are not as likable or fully developed. Nevertheless, for a first time author, the book is pretty slick and fast paced enough that if you put it down, you can't wait to pick it up again. It has action, a complex plot, and suspense. I'd give it five stars instead of four, if it had just a bit more heart.

• Respect a Goldman Sachs guy
  Lee Vance knows what he is talking about. He weaved a fun thriller involving Wall Street, murder, romance and psychological twists. I read this book because I was confident if the author included the financial markets, it would be the real thing. He was an insider and gives the reader the benefit of his knowledge.
