Synopsis

 

Someone is operating the largest stock market insider trading scheme in the history of the United States. The perpetrator of the scheme has hidden their identity through elusive actions. However, the perpetrator may not have planned on a brilliant FBI forensic accountant, Dr. Kimberly King, leading the investigation to uncover their identity and to put them out of business and into jail.

Review

 

I loved this book! It helps that I used to work in the securities industry and understood a lot of what was happening regarding the stock trades and the investigation into insider trading.

This book is told from several different viewpoints. We have Harley Ross, a busboy that is receiving letters with stock picks, an unknown person collecting checks and flying to the Caymans, and the FBI perspective. I really enjoyed the various perspectives because they added depth to the story and added complexity when sorting out the details in my mind and trying to uncover the mystery person. I will say that the truth was never on my radar until closer to the very end.

Dr. Kimberly King, the new employee in the fraud division of the FBI, is a smart woman and loves digging into mysteries, much like her hero, Nancy Drew. I could relate to her love for mysteries and solving puzzles. She is also a very likable character and is able to make friends wherever she goes. Considering her background, she is very down-to-earth and approachable. I’d like to think that we would be friends and bond over mysteries, forensic accounting, and consignment shops.

I don’t know if this will be a series, but I think it would be fun to follow K.K. during her journey with the FBI and the different fraud cases that they investigate.

I will admit that I might have stayed up just a little too late finishing this book. But it was worth it for the journey!

We give this book 5 paws up.
