Customer Review #1:
 One of my all-time favorites!
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!

 The last one
Definitely the las book of Katherine Neville, 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, dont 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 dont tell me that your future boss will call to your actual job to ask about you, is obvious that your actual boos wont 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 didnt know how to write it or how to explain it, I put two stars because my mind didnt let me put one.

A Romantic, Financial Thriller-Fantasy
This is a wonderful book which will probably appeal more to women than to men. I especially enjoyed this book as my background is in banking, as is the main characters. I am an American woman, who started as a stockbroker back in the 1970s, when there were few women in the brokerage and banking areas. This book reminds me of what women went through in that time, especially with the "old boys club" and "glass ceiling" types of problems. Yet this character is able to overcome all of that and pull off an incredibly thrilling finanacial caper. In the background, a romance develops with an absolutely dazzling, incredible man. So many incredible things happen in this book that it absolutely has to be termed a fantasy in addition addition to being a romantic financial thriller. A thoroughly enjoyable "escape" book for every woman who has ever worked in business (or who has ever been frustrated by mens behavior in business). This is the first book I have read by this author, and I hope to read more!
