Money to Burn
A Novel of Suspense

by James Grippando

     

Michael Cantella was 31 when his wife, Ivy Layton, vanished on their honeymoon in the Bahamas. No trace was found of her body. He was held as a person of interest but released when there was no evidence against him.

Now 35, he has put the past behind him and has built a very successful career as an investment bank consultant, with a beautiful wife and a big bank account. Imagine his shock when he logs onto his computer to check on his biggest investment account and reads "zero balance." When he tries all his other accounts the result is the same. He becomes the leading suspect behind his bank's (Saxon Silvers) bankruptcy. He is tracked by the FBI agents. His wife divorces him. He is determined to clear his name, realizing that several of the emails he has received point at his supposedly dead wife, Ivy.

Money to Burn is a very suspenseful thriller. The maneuvering by the people who run the financial institutions are scary, making this reader fearful of what can be done. The relationship between Michael and his father is a strong one and wonderful to behold. The plot is filled with suspense from chapter one until the end. Highly recommended.
