Different Wall Street type stuff from the first book, but still stuff I didn't understand that got skimmed, but mixed with enough action that it didn't bother me. I look forward to picking up the rest of the series. ( ) 3.75 stars. After his introduction as a parolee in Black Friday, Jason Stafford has found a new career as a financial consultant, helping to ferret out criminal activity in the financial world. He is hired by the family of a dead patriarch, with a Ponzi scheme hedge fund (e.g., Bernie Madoff.) As in the first book, there are two parallel story lines. The government cannot find any money, but Jason is promised a lifetime annuity if he can find the money. He cleverly goes back over old ground, delving into new areas, and finds the money, making friends and enemies along the way. And his personal life remains very complicated. As in the first book, the body count is high, especially when you wrap in money laundering for drug lords. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Sears does a good job explaining financial intricacies but the good guys are too good to be true and the bad guys too numerous. The plot resolves nicely and the joys and frustrations of parenting an autistic child are authentically illustrated. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. The second book in the Jason Stafford series. Jason Stafford is an ex con from Wall Street. He got caught and did time. Now he is out and doing consultant work for other traders on Wall Street that get caught by the SEC. He is also a father to an Autistic child. Mortal Bonds has Jason helping a very rich family known as the von Becker's. He is hired by Virgil. I found the story very slow going at first. You go back and forth between Jason investigating and taking care of his son. Then his ex-wife decides to come into town because she wants to get to know their child. Now she is sober. I found those parts of the story interesting and yet boring at the same time. I just wanted to hit Angie upside her head. She was annoying and seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. There is one good thing she did in this book. Jason's life and family are threatened by someone in the von Becker's family. Once he figures it all out is when everything comes to an end. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: From the author of the extraordinary Edgar-nominated debut novel Black Fridays, a sensational story of murder and financial corruption—and one man's continued search for redemption. William von Becker ran one of the largest privately held investment banks in North America, until the bottom fell out, and the whole edifice was demonstrated to be a fraud. After von Becker dies in prison, financial investigator Jason Stafford is hired by his family. There is still a lot of missing money out there, he's told, and they want Stafford to find it before the Feds do—and certain other parties, some of whom are nowhere near as scrupulous in their methods. Bad things start happening to the people Stafford talks to. Soon bad things are happening to him as well. Making it worse, his treacherous ex-wife has come to town, ostensibly to visit their young son. Stafford suspects there's more to it than that, but even he has no idea how much that visit is about to change all their lives—and send him off to the next chapter of his life. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
