THE INSIDER

For Jay West a dream job with a promised million-dollar bonus at a prominent investment firm turns into a nightmare as he finds himself accused of insider trading. Stephen Frey's thriller takes Jay into the world of Wall Street and adds gunrunning and national and international politics to the equation. While the international connections seem a bit strained, Jack Garrett's narration keeps the novel moving at just the right pace. Although Garrett's Irish accents are inconsistent, his pace and subtlety keep the reader's interest by not overpowering the intrigue and allowing the story to build to its surprising ending.
