Product Description:
'A dizzying, enjoyable caper...After reading this hard-to-put down thriller, you may put all your money in your mattress.'
LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
When financial executive Verity Banks' latest proposal is axed by her boss, she decides to show how easy it is to break through automated security, hide money, and then show senior management where it is. Then her former mentor, financial wizard, Dr. Zooltan Tor ups the ante, and dares her to steal a billion dollars, invest it to earn thirty million in three months, then put the original billion back before anyone notices. To heighten the challenge, Tor and Verity will compete against each other, though Tor gives Verity an edge: she can use a computer for her theft, but he cannot....

The very first book I read by the author was The Eight, which I thought was terrific. The biggest problem I had with this one is how dated it's gotten...some of the background needed for the plot to work just hasn't held up over time. If you can suspend your judgment on that it's not a bad read. But if you've read The Eight, you're likely to be disappointed.

After reading The Eight, I was excited about reading another novel by the author. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The characters could be in a romance novel, the story line was predictable and the plot did not keep me in suspense at all. When I read a good book, I am always sad when I reach the end of the story- I was happy to get to the end of this one!

This is a good introduction for anyone who doesn't know too much about the world of high finance. Neville explains her plot in clear, unambiguous prose.
Would, however, that she could flesh out her characters the way she does her banking terminology. They are all cardboard cutouts, to one degree or another - some of them have a little more personality than others, but it seems that Neville has been working in those cold heartless banks just a little too long.
The three-star rating is for her explanations of financial terms and transactions; her previous book ("The Eight") was far better.

I love this book! I have read it several times. It is a romantic thriller for the intelligent person. Katherine Neville has written three well researched, interesting, novels and this is my favorite. I hope she writes another one SOON!
Rated by buyers -
Definitely the last book of Katherine Neville, very first of all let me tell you that if you decide to read this book, the story that is written in the beginning of every part of the years 1800, just skip it, don't worth it your time.
The second point that is at the very beginning of the book is that when you are going to find a new job, please don't tell me that your future boss will call to your actual job to ask about you, is obvious that your actual boos won't say anything good about you.
The third point is that the book has nothing, two people are trying to rob a bank using the computers and some hackers, but definitely Katherine didn't know how to write it or how to explain it, I put two stars because my mind didn't let me put just one.
