출판사 설명
One bad choice gets a father caught up in a deadly situation in this electrifying thriller from New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder.
Single father Danny Goodman suddenly finds himself unable to afford the private school his daughter adores. Then Danny meets Thomas Galvin, the father of his daughter's new best friend and one of the wealthiest men in Boston. Out of the blue Galvin offers a loan to help Danny out. Desperate, he takes the money, promising to pay it back.
But the moment the money is wired into his account, the DEA comes knocking. Danny’s impossible choice: an indictment for accepting drug money, or a treacherous assignment to help the government get close to his new best friend.
As Danny begins to lie to everyone in his life, including those he loves most, he must decide once and for all who the real enemy is or risk losing everything—and everyone—that matters to him.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this lean, crisp thriller a zipping Jaguar of a ride from bestseller Finder (Powerplay), author Danny Goodman is having a tough time dealing with the tuition and administrators at Lyman Academy, his daughter Abby's tony Boston day school. Then, because Abby is the sole friend of awkward loner Jenna Galvin, Jenna's father, the nouveau riche Thomas Galvin, generously supplies a crucial $50,000 to tide the Goodmans over. Goodman soon learns this cash comes with a price. Two FBI agents claim Galvin is an American operative for Mexico's brutal Sinaloa drug cartel. They bully Goodman into turning mole, planting wires in Galvin's Boston-area estate, and eavesdropping at his ski lodge in Aspen. Goodman faces jail time and whopping fines if he displeases the Feds; but if he tips off the cartel, he could be killed. The plot turns three major ones are as shocking as they are believable. Finder has a satirist's sense when discussing teen snobbery and the exurban rat race, and his spare, laminated style is several cuts above that of most thrillers. His characters are nuanced; especially compelling is the Mexican doctor who aids the poor by day and moonlights as a murderer dispatching cartel foes with faux natural causes.

Good read
This was a good read. Not the hardest to figure but good. Kept me involved.
Disappointing
Ridiculously predictable, and a story that mushrooms to the unbelievable all based on a child’s spoiled life. Really?
Suspicion
Fast paced, tight plot, great writing make this thriller one you can’t put down!
