I have always thoroughly enjoyed reading a good thriller set in the finance world and have been doing so for many years. Of course, in the earlier years, I never thought that what I was reading about could actually happen in "the real world" -- we now know better.
Having said this, thanks to my personal experiences during the last economic downturn, I have grown to appreciate just how difficult it can be to write this type of thriller, all the while walking that tight line between feeding us enough information (read: dry facts) and offering up an entertaining and engaging read.
Fortunately, author H.T. Narea does a great job at entertwining his corrupt financial world, all the while keeping me hooked on the storyline. I think this is partly because I loved the characters or rather, I loved to hate the characters (at least some of them anyway).
It is immediately obvious that the author has had firsthand experience in this world. The descriptions and the myriad of small details are simply too complete to have been simply researched. This added a level and degree of reality that was greatly appreciated and also had the dual role of moving the storyline ahead at a fast pace. The goal? Get the U.S. on its knees.
Through a series of complex events, I found myself completely baffled as to how the story would end -- my absolutely favourite ending -- one that I could not figure out until the last page.
THE FUND is a thrill ride that will have you begging for more!
U.S. defense intelligence operative Kate Molares is investigating a suspicious international money trail. Her instincts place her at the center of a plot involving a terrifying new kind of terrorism—financial terrorism— perpetrated by a suave, handsome Middle Eastern hedge fund mogul. His goal is to wreck the West by bringing the global economy to its knees.Kate's mission takes her from the defense intelligence command center on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. to the oil-fueled economy of Caracas, Venezuela; from the Beaux-Arts buildings of Old Havana in Cuba to a hedge fund king’s magnificent back-country estate in Greenwich, Connecticut; from the United Nations to the site of a deadly Islamic conspiracy in the Iberian Peninsula. Kate is in a race against time to fit together the pieces of this global puzzle…or risk the catastrophic destruction of the world’s financial markets.
