I have read all of Andrew Gross's books and I find it hard to say which is the best.
I realize writers are supposed to give us better writing as time goes on but Andrew Gross has consistently given us great books since his first book.
"Reckless" features Ty Hauck as he changes his vocation to a financial firm having decided he wanted to try something other than police work.
Reckless is also very much up-to-date regarding the world financial situation with many banks and large financial institutions having loads of troubles causing some to close their doors and others to absorb huge losses.
Were these loses caused strictly by the economy or were they "helped" by some rigging of stocks and other assets? When several break-ins occurred with murders in each one, some became suspicious that the break-ins were not really that but were deliberately acted out to get rid of the financial people in those houses.
The police were accepting the killings as normal high-class neighborhood robberies with things gone bad causing the killings.
One of those killed had been a very close friend of Ty Hauck's several years ago and he started questioning the killings as he wondered why was this woman killed? Merrill Simons was a well-known socialite who had just gotten a divorce from Peter Simons who was Chairman of Reynolds Reid, one of the largest Wall Street financial corporations.
Merrill is now in love with Dani Thibault, who was a well-known financial player in many areas of the world.
Merrill met Dani and was charmed by him so much that she fell hook, line, and sinker for him.
But after being with him for some time she became suspicious of this "perfect" man.
She went to the Talon Group, Haucks's employer, and asked if they could help her obtain information about Dani, thus bringing Ty Hauck into the case.
Ty had spent many years on police forces from bottom to top and he missed police work but he also enjoyed his position with Talon.
When he was called into a meeting and introduced to Merrill, he was requested to help her out in finding information about Dani so she could put her fears behind.
What comes next takes Hauck around the world to check all the information about Dani's past employment, bogus names, crooked deals, and much more.
This information opens a broad investigation not only about Dani but also his past cohorts and present contacts.
"Reckless" delves into the world finances and those that control them.
While some of us might think some of these manipulations exist in our present world, after reading Reckless your eyes and mind will be opened quite a bit as to the many questionable things we hear about in our news today.
A terrific fast moving story.
Andrew, you have done it again with a terrific suspense story.
