Thomas Bolden grew up in the rough and tumble streets of
Chicago, never staying in one foster home for long, and
always wondering why his mother left him when he was only
six years old. Perseverance and hard work bring him to the
fast-paced world of New York's Wall Street, where he carves
out a lucrative career as a dealmaker at Harrington Weiss.
A bizarre kidnapping and theft throw Thomas into a world of
unknowns -- why did the thieves give the engraved watch
back, why kidnap and attempt to throw him off of a
building, who's Bobby Stillman and what is Crown? The
biggest question remains -- what does it all have to do with
him and why haven't they stopped chasing him and his
girlfriend, Jennifer Dance?
I thoroughly enjoyed the intrigue and suspense that Reich
creates as well as the multi-dimensional characters. The
labyrinthine plot held my interest, even though I was able
to guess at the ending about three quarters of the way
through the book. This is an engaging read for fans of
Christopher Reich.
Thomas Bolden grew up on the streets, his childhood a blur
of fragmented memories. But now he’s managed to put his past
behind him, find the woman he wants to share his life with,
and carve out a successful career on Wall Street. Until, in
the blink of an eye, his world is turned upside down. A
bizarre kidnapping sends him fleeing for his life, his face
everywhere on the TV news, and a violent, shadowy
organization is framing him for crimes he did not commit.
Desperately trying to get back to where he was just
a day before, Bolden must re-learn the survival skills of
his hardscrabble boyhood. But as Bolden–with just eleven
dollars in his pocket and hunters all around him–survives
one violent, harrowing hour after another, he makes a series
of startling discoveries: about a mysterious woman wanted
for murder…about an astounding secret rooted in history,
among the country’s Founding Fathers and families…about a
conspiracy lurking in the darkest corners of corporate
America–and a deadly plan that only he can stop. And in the
process, maybe Bolden will also find out who he really
is....
Furiously paced, filled with brilliantly drawn
characters from politicians to patriots, from Wall Street
players to battle-hardened cops, The Patriots
Club is vintage Reich: brilliant, breathtaking, and
impossible to put down until the final unforgettable page is
turned.
