Thriller Police Procedural

Ty Hauck left the world of law enforcement to join the private sector as a security investigator, and he is happy with his new life. That is until the brutal murder of an old friend and her entire family has him looking to avenge her death. Ty finds there have been other vicious killings of people involved in the banking industry, which is now causing the failure of many big-money institutions. Deeper investigation teams Ty with tenacious Treasury agent Naomi Blum, who's been following the money trail. It's soon apparent there is a worldwide conspiracy at work, but will Ty and Naomi be able to uncover the identity of the mastermind in time to stop further damage to global financial markets?

Gross brings back the clever and resilient Ty Hauk for a third time in a thrilling plot that seems ripped from today's headlines. Readers will learn more about global financial matters than they may care to, but it's quite relevant to the times. And it's scary as hell to think this could actually take place -- as well as the awful repercussions that could occur.
