Fear & Greed
Lawrence Light

Reviewed by Mandy Burns

Mystery Woman Sleuth | Thriller

Karen Glick is mostly known for her witty puff pieces in Profit magazine, but what she really wants to do is write an investigative article. Karen has an opportunity to interview the newest phenomenon to hit Wall Street: the Reiner sisters.

Linda, Flo and Ginny Reiner have become extremely wealthy by using their moneymaking system that projects the outcome of the stock market. To Karen this is just another fluff piece, until Flo is found dead at the Reiner sisters' office and the computer program containing their secret is stolen.

Karen gets swept away in an adventure that includes a mixture of fear and greed. With the help of her coworker and friend, Frank Vere, an experienced and well-connected investigative reporter, Karen will come dangerously close to dying more than once and possibly get the chance to write the article of a lifetime.

Lawrence Light does a fabulous job keeping readers interested in this fast-paced, exhilarating suspense thriller, a sequel to TOO RICH TO LIVE. I look forward to the next Karen Glick thriller; hopefully I'll find out why Frank Vere's character seems to receive more attention and respect than Karen.

SUMMARY

It’s the impossible dream of every trader and dealer on Wall Street—an accurate means to predict the ups and downs of the stock market. The Reiner sisters have made that dream a reality in the form of a computer program they call Goldring. The sisters have kept Goldring their little secret, even when a magazine story by financial reporter Karen Glick showcases their sudden wealth. Everything was working so well, but now one of the sisters has been found murdered, Goldring is missing—and Karen Glick has a hit man on her trail.
