  • "Der Börsenmakler Jason Stafford sass zwei Jahre wegen unlauterer Finanztransaktionen im Gefängnis. Jetzt bekommt er von einem Finanzinvestor einen ungewöhnlichen Auftrag: Ein junger Trader, der angeblich bei einem Bootsunfall ums Leben gekommen ist, hat im grossen Massstab betrügerische Geschäfte betrieben. Jason soll mit seinem Spezialwissen Licht in die Sache bringen. Zugleich fordert sein Privatleben grössten Einsatz von ihm: Sein fünfjähriger Sohn ist Autist, und eine Spezialförderung, die der Kleine dringend braucht, kostet viel Geld. Es ist also lebenswichtig, dass Jason seinen neuen Job eine Weile behält. Doch was er dabei herausfindet, bringt ihn und seinen Sohn in grösste Gefahr: Die Spuren führen zu einem Hedgefonds mit Vorliebe für Hochrisikogeschäfte - und der Bereitschaft, über Leichen zu gehen. Michael Sears war Managing Director bei zwei Wall-Street-Unternehmen im Bereich Termingeschäfte, Anleihen- und Devisenhandel. Bevor er an der Columbia University seinen MBA machte, hat er als Schauspieler gearbeitet. Er ist verheiratet, Vater zweier Söhne und lebt heute in Sea Cliff, New York."

There are problems, all right – the kind that get you killed. But it's not his only concern. Stafford has another quest – to reclaim his five-year-old son, ‘The Kid', from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to make a life with him. The things Staffo."@en
