this book is a real thriller. action packed and very enjoyable to read. I used to be Geroge Grayson's secretary at a large Philadelphia law firm and just knew George had it in him to be a great author.

A facinating thriller that is truly hard to put down. George Grayson takes the reader on a journey through the worlds of international finance and espionage with a masterful touch. Grayson imbues his work with a level of sophistication, scholarship and attention to detail that is unusual for the genre. This book has something for everyone: attorneys will enjoy the jabs at large lawfirm life, while those with an interest in international intrigue will be well satisfied. The story begins with the murder of an associate at a large lawfirm. His sister, refusing to believe his death was a suicide, recruits a law professor (a former federal prosecutor) to help her investigate his death. Together they plunge into a web of intrigue involving the Chinese government and the search for a mysterious, lost shipment of gold.
Intelligent Thriller

This book hits the mark. Starting off with an office murder the reader is taken through the realms of big law firms, law school and international intrigue. The book is hard to put down. Grayson is a thinking man's John Grisham.
