Product Description
Ambition. Greed. Blackmail. Murder.
All before the opening bell.
Hungry to play in the big leagues, Jay West lands a coveted position with a powerful Wall Street investment firm, working as the handpicked protégé of the successful, charismatic Oliver Mason. But Jay soon suspects that Oliver's stellar track record is more than a result of hard work or good luck. The man seems to have everything--including a violent temper and a boundless desire for money and prestige.
Then a trusted coworker is brutally murdered. With a conspiracy of deceit and corruption closing around him, Jay races to untangle the sordid lies that have quickly and too conveniently blackened his name. Trusting no one, Jay must rely on his own cunning and wits to stay in the game--and to stay alive.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as his earlier ones,
By
This review is from: Insider, the (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read most of Frey's novels now and there has been, regrettably, a deterioration in quality. Still, it must be hard to come up with new ideas all the time and we have seen other authors battle with the same problem.This book has plenty of pace, but the plot is reasonably shallow despite an attempt to make it seem pretty deep by introducing an unexpected element. There were also too many unbelievable elements/conveniences in the story-line. Overall, not a bad effort and the reader is able to align with the "hero" pretty early and enjoy his race against time. But it's a good airport read rather than an intellectual challenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Insider (Hardcover)
This was a very good read, apart from the ending, which, by comparison, was very disappointing... but don't let that put you off an excellent book! The conspiracy in the story was gripping, with no clues where that story was headed, making the book hard to put down! If you like excellent thrillers based in the supposedly big, boring world of business, then buy this book!
