review 1: This book held my interest even though it is not my typical read interest. It is the story of a financial Ponzi scheme in which very powerful people lost their money. The book tells of their attempts to trace their money and opens up major investigations involving the CIA, FBI, Wall Street, and high government officials. I found myself not being able to put the book down at times. It became difficult, at times, to keep all the characters identified, but overall I recommend this book for reading.
review 2: I had high hopes for this book in the early going but by the middle point it devolved to a muddled, over-complicated plot that required more thoughtful consideration than I wanted to give it. I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator did little to
... morehelp with poor voice-acting that only slightly differentiated between some of the characters of the same gender. While I love Wall Street/high finance novels, by the end of this one, I was ready to wrap it up and move on to my next book. less

Grippando gets a little predictable after awhile but, dang, I can't put his books down.

A good but hard read. The many twists and turns had my brain going hay wire.
