Hades

Another dazzling, unputdownable thriller from the best-selling author of MIDAS, ICARUS and APHRODITE. Justin Westwood was in bed with Abigail Harmon on the night her husband was murdered. He can provide a solid alibi for her, but his position isn't so clear cut - after all, it wouldn't take much for him to use his contacts as Chief of Police to arrange for his rival's removal. At least that's what the media and his bosses think, so Justin is on his own. He discovers the roots of the killing are entangled in the obscenely rich and complex world of hedge funds, where people don't blink at handling multi-billion dollar deals every day. An old colleague-cum-adversary of Justin's from the FBI is very interested in Evan Harmon and his dealings, but before she can reveal the full background she too is murdered, and it looks as though she's set Justin along a trail leading deep into the jungle of international dealing where the stakes are so high that his life is worth nothing to the main players. In fact, his death could be a great deal more valuable...
