Summary: Erdman at His Best
Review: If you like financial thrillers, you can't go wrong with Erdman, and he's at his best here. Usually the loose ends of "thrillers" bother me for years after I've read them; years after I've read this one I still admire the neat way he ties everything up nicely.

Summary: high finance high jinks
Review: no frills, fast paced storytelling of capture,escape and chase in the upper strata of greed. coincidences and rationales are built into the narrative and into the sparse dialogue to smooth out the plausibility bumps that might otherwise have slowed the flow. a peek at the rituals of the high priests of capitalism. enjoyable formula bestseller.

Summary: GREAT
Review: This ia a book I strongly recommend. In the begining, I thouth it's a book for economists because of the precision and the details of the finance transactions betwen banks and bankers. But when the thriller became the most important thing in the hole story, it was just impossible to put the book down. This is one of the best i've ever read.
