Into the Fire by Linda Davies
A powerful thriller of loss and redemption, racing from the dealing rooms of London to the jungles of Peru, by the bestselling author of Nest of Vipers. Helen Jencks is beautiful and confident and a brilliant trader at a top City bank -- but she has always had to live in the shadow of her financier father's disgrace and disappearance when she was a child. Now Helen has been implicated in a multi-million-dollar scam in London -- and the world says 'like father, like daughter'. Into the Fire is the brilliantly fast-paced novel of how Helen escapes to Peru and discovers the truth behind her father's disappearance, then returns triumphantly to outscam the insider dealers who had set her up for the fall.
From the reviews of Nest of Vipers: 'Stylish thriller imparts all the fear and exhilaration of financial juggling on a massive scale' Daily Mail 'A taut, sexy thriller' Evening Standard 'This riveting suspense-high finance combo marks Davies -- a former trader -- as Wall Street's answer to Scott Turow' New Woman 'If John Grisham were female and British and attuned to the high-tech tintinnabulation of currencies changing hands around the world, he might write a twisty thriller such as Nest of Vipers' Fortune magazine 'Her writing style is mellifluous, her understanding of high-stakes currency trading authoritative yet unobtrusive, and her action scenes snap -- making this a financial thriller with bull, not bear, written all over it' Publishers Weekly
Bestselling author of Wilderness of Mirrors and Nest of Vipers, Linda Davies has recently returned to London after two years in Peru.
