Ty Hauck is shattered by the news. A close friend from his past, along with her husband and daughter, has been brutally murdered in her home by vicious intruders. Now he will risk everything he loves to avenge her death. . . .
A wealthy banker, seeing his world about to crumble around him, knows his family is in unfathomable danger. . . .
A U.S. government agent watches the sudden bank transfers of millions in cash and suspects that this is the first step in a plot to unleash a wave of global panic. . . .
Ty Hauck hunts the murderer of a friend—and steps into the crosshairs of a sinister conspiracy—in this most electrifying novel yet from New York Times bestselling thriller master Andrew Gross
Private security investigator Ty Hauck, with Naomi Blum, a tenacious agent from the U.S. Department of Treasury, unravels the evidence that joins these seemingly unrelated events—revealing a reckless scheme that stretches from New York to London to central Europe and gives new meaning to the phrase "too big to fail." What began with a tragedy that opened a door to Hauck's past—a door that he thought was long closed—ends with a frantic race to avert a disaster that could shake the very security of our country—and even the world.

±1±: Best Buy First of all, I liked Reckless. No, not as much as the previous novels, but for what it is, it's fine. Characters are believable and there is some emotional resonance throughout, even with the "bad guys."
There've already been a number of good reviews here, so I'm not going to deal with plot at all. Instead, I'll deal with those "amusing mistakes." I write a bit myself and one thing I've learned that I must do in my work is not to forget the name of a character that I first wrote about sixteen chapters ago and am just now reintroducing. Or to be either careless or forgetful and wind up having a highway taking characters in the opposite direction from where I'm sending them. Gross didn't catch a couple of things here, and apparently neither did his editors. They're not consequential in any way, but it is a bid disconcerting to find a character declaring he's from one state when we've learned earlier that he was from another. It also doesn't really matter when the colors of a university's sports team are wrong--even the most careful writer can't research everything and our memories sometimes deceive us--but when the reader who knows the real colors comes across the error, he will certainly lose the rhythm and stall at that place for a while.
Still...I enjoyed the book. That doesn't mean that I believed it, but belief isn't really required for this kind of book.
(I have to admit though that Hauck's love life becomes rather tedious--for a couple of reasons.) on Sale!
