Our June Surprise Me! Pick surprised us not with its classic villain-hero tug-of-war, which is well done, but with how human a face—and with what suspense—the author painted an insider trading scheme, financial shenanigans, a corporate meltdown. What happens at Sledd Payne feels both real and like a parable.
Tom Hollister, who thinks he's been bribed to whitewash a scandal but discovers he's in a murder conspiracy as well as company crimes, is a compelling flawed hero. The love story is woven with the murder and the financials so well that even a novice in such matters can understand and follow the action, This is a real discovery book.
