| What would you steal if you couldn t get caught? That s the tag line ofBrad Meltzer s new thriller, which pits an ambitious young money manager againsta corporate villain, whose intricate financial shenanigans accidentally put ahuge chunk of dough right in front of a man who desperately needs it. Of courseOliver Caruso s conscience troubles him, but that doesn t keep him from lettinghis somewhat looser and less ethical brother convince him this is too good anopportunity to pass up. Meltzer s in interesting territory here, but in order tobuy his premise, you have to believe that it s OK to steal if you have a goodenough reason. This makes his protagonist, who narrates the novel, hard to rootfor and less than sympathetic. Despite this hollow ring, the book is nicelyplotted and should please the author s enthusiastic fan club. --JaneAdams |
