"The Girl in the Vault is Ledwidge's best."—James Patterson
They stole her dream.
Now getting it back will take…
The perfect crime.
It’s summer in New York City and Faye Walker has it all. She’s not only scored one of the most highly coveted internships in all of Wall Street, she’s also just met the head-over-heels love of her life. With her natural-born gift for numbers and a work ethic that knows no bounds, Faye is a shoo-in for a full-time position at the illustrious merchant bank Greene Brothers Hale. Then, just as she awaits her offer and her signing bonus, a treacherous betrayal arrives to shatter Faye’s plans and her young life.
But what her high finance masters-of-the-universe bosses don’t know is that Faye isn’t like any of the other interns. Having made her way past her humble small-town beginnings, for Faye, going back is not an option. That’s why Faye now has a new plan. One that involves Swiss watch timing, nerves of steel and ten million dollars in cold hard Wall Street cash.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a young Wall Street intern discovers that the game is rigged, she decides to break the rules. Michael Ledwidge’s fast-paced thriller follows Faye Walker, an aspiring banker whose ambitions extend far beyond her humble beginnings. But when Faye’s passed over for a full-time job in favor of someone less qualified but with better connections, she hatches a plan to get even, drawing on every bit of her sharp intelligence, steady nerves, and skill with numbers. Ledwidge’s crisp descriptions pull us into the cutthroat world of Wall Street high finance, and Faye is an antihero we enjoyed cheering on. The Girl in the Vault offers up an exciting and sharp-edged take on class, power, and privilege.
Customer Reviews
Good story
I liked the ending
Should be called the girl who walked all over NY City
Could have cut back on the tour of NY City which took up too much in the middle of the book. Ok book, ending was pretty good.
Not very realistic
But light enough. And the boss reminded me of Frank Hart from 9 to 5. Random non sequitir
