Product Description

Review
A new thriller by a retired veteran of the financial services. John Marsh is a private investigator who gets a lot of work through a friend who is a partner in a Manhattan law firm. Marsh is introduced by him to Rick Pierro, a self-made financier who is haunted by the threat of blackmail which threatens his Wall Street career. It is all to do with a huge money-laundering conspiracy whose tentacles reach out everywhere. Pierro is desperate to stave off any problems until he has joined the executive committee of his firm and thus protected himself and all his various dependants from what he declares is a frame-up. It all adds up to an exciting tale with an intriguing hero. A first thriller which is always convincing. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Publisher's Weekly, 28 July 2003
'Nothing about this stylish, literate mystery reads like a debut, as Spiegelman handles the complex plot with verve...' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, 26 May 2008
By Crime Buff (Oxfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Maps (Paperback)
Enjoyed the story. The author knows how to put together an interesting storyline. I do agree with another reviewer on the elaborate detail of each person involved in the story. Just a little less would have made much more.
Still a big fan of the author

2.0 out of 5 stars Overly complex technical thriller, 2 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Maps (Paperback)
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped; the plot is far too complex and long-winded, though I did enjoy the brief glimpses of our hero's personal life - there should have been far more of it - please! The way of describing people in great and unnecessary physical detail and always in the same style was also far too clunky and could have done with some more proactive editing.

Still, lovers of techno-thrillers might like it.
