Beskrivning

Abe Cushman, the evil genius behind a sixty-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme, has taken his own life, taken his secrets to the grave, and Washington's power elite have a problem. They not only knew about Cushman's fraud, but they looked the other way-even encouraged Cushman's cataclysmic collapse, all in furtherance of a secret government agenda known as Operation BAQ. Patrick Lloyd, a young Wall Street advisor at the world's largest Swiss bank, has an even bigger problem. His girlfriend Lilly has a direct tie to billions of dollars in losses suffered by Cushman's most dangerous victims, a group of powerful investors whose identities and dirty finances are cloaked in secrecy. Patrick and Lilly are suddenly in a run for their lives that leads to the heart of Operation BAQ, and to certain government officials who will stop at nothing to keep their secret agenda from going public. They are determined to uncover the truth about Operation BAQ - and determined not to become collateral damage in a financial war where casualties are no longer measured in dollars and cents.

Recensioner i media

"Winning...A steady supply of action...will leave readers wondering if the author has come up with a solution to the real-life Madoff mysteries that still remain." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Need You Now "A complex and dizzying shell game...entertaining. Grippando's novel adds up the collateral damage when billions belonging to the wrong kind of people go missing." -- Kirkus Reviews on Need You Now "A timely and solid plot-driven read...Another Grippando gripper." -- Booklist on Need You Now "Readers who enjoy a good thriller with a constantly twisting plot will appreciate this timely novel." -- Library Journal on Need You Now "Readers looking for a great thriller will see a master at the top of his game in Need You Now." -- Associated Press on Need You Now "Superb...Current events have proved that financial thrillers set against the background of Wall Street, banking and investments can be as exciting as any espionage drama, and Grippando makes the most of this backdrop in Need You Now while delivering a character-rich plot." -- Miami Herald on Need You Now "Grippando's use of current events adds realism to his novels, and this ripped-from-the-headlines approach brings a sense of urgency to Need You Now. The action is nonstop but Grippando also brings the same sense of realism to his characters." -- Sun-Sentinel (South Florida) on Need You Now "A brilliant blend of financial chicanery and government conspiracy which yields a story that is all too believable." -- Iron Mountain News on Need You Now "Rousing... An exciting tale of revenge." -- Publishers Weekly "Grippando has definitely reached a new level with this series entry... One of his best." -- Booklist (starred review) "Filled with twists and turns and edge-of-the-seat tension." -- Romantic Times "Superb plotting, high suspense, compelling timely issues, and finely honed characters make this crime novel/international thriller a great read." -- Library Journal (starred review)
