The Fear Trade

By Sterritt Armstrong

From Sterritt Armstrong comes THE FEAR TRADE, a globetrotting chase thriller with sharply drawn characters, intense drama and a twisting, relentless narrative. Kelly Durham is a West Point graduate and combat veteran now on Wall Street, employed as a trader for Rosen Capital Investments. In the opening scene she witnesses the shocking suicide of Abe Rosen, her mentor and the firm's founder. But Rosen has left Kelly a cryptic trail leading to six billion dollars hidden in a Swiss account--funds embezzled from the firm's clients in a Madoff-style Ponzi scheme. Rosen has earmarked this money for Israeli homeland defense, and included a chart that describes a terrorist funding network stretching from New York to Kabul--information that the Mossad is desperate to obtain, and that the CIA will kill to suppress. The net tightens around Kelly within hours, as both the Afghan minister of defense and Yemeni terrorist financiers in London learn that their fortunes may be lost. They activate a ruthless assassin who races to find Kelly before the CIA. Wounded and alone, she enlists the help of Oliver Jacobs, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist whose career is on the skids. Together they go on the run, commencing a thrill ride that never slows until the last page. Spanning six days and two continents, with action in New York, Washington, Geneva and Miami, THE FEAR TRADE is a classic work of suspense that weaves strong, passionate characters and nail-biting drama.
