Un clásico de la literatura financiera, este libro de Reich nos mete directamente en un mundo de banqueros suizos, tramas secretas y códigos bancarios que buscan proteger la identidad y la fortuna de una cuenta numerada.

This was a good book, but had too much background and too much material for today's books. It was written in the late 90's so is longer than today's books are. A good plot, interesting characters and took place in Switzerland, which I no little about. ( )

Fascinating tale woven around banking and a terrorist plot spanning several years ( )

Nick Neumann takes a job at United Swiss Bank in Switzerland to try to find out why his father was murdered. At first, the bank seems to be running very efficiently and precisely. Soon, Nick finds out that everyone has their own agenda: the chairman of the bank will do anything to stop a takeover, a major drug trafficker launders money through the bank for a bigger purpose, a DEA agent bent on stopping the the drug trafficker and the bank.

This was a solid story that was complex, suspenseful at times and informative about banking. It was a bit unbelievable in places and a bit long but overall I liked it. ( )

Ever read a book where you found your self speaking out loud to the protagonist--"No don't do that!" Or,"Just turn around a look behind you"? This is one of those books.
An intriguing insight into the workings of notoriously-secretive Swiss banks and a story of a son trying to learn about his father's death. ( )
