Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio, 1998-01-20. Audio Cassette. New/New. 7x4x1. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. New/Sealed. Abridged on 4 Cassettes, Read by Stephen Lang, 360 minutes. Seventeen years ago someone murdered Nicholas Neumann's father. As new evidence emerges implicating his father's employer, Zurich's venerable United Swiss Bank, he is willing to do whatever it takes to get to the truth. To infiltrate the bank, Nick, a former US marine and a Harvard Business School graduate, must leave behind a glittering career on Wall Street and a beautiful fiancee. He is quickly plunged into a world where everything - gold, loyalty, power, even life and death - can be bought and sold for the right price. As he sinks deeper into this clandestine world where civility and discretion mask unbridled greed and treachery, where the ultimate crime is disloyalty to the bank, Nick turns to an alluring but dangerous woman with an agenda of her own, and learns that to catch the criminal who murdered his father he must become a criminal himself. And as the bank comes under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration Nick finds himself protecting the one man who may hold the key to his father's murder. As his search intensifies, as the danger increases, as Nick gets closer to the answers, he realizes his own life could be the final sacrifice he has to make. Not since The Day of the Jackal has a thriller so convincingly captured the issues, fears and dilemmas of its day. Written with an insider's knowledge, Numbered Account heralds the arrival of a striking new talent

Synopsis

In his explosive debut thriller, Christopher Reich tells the harrowing story of a young man willing to risk everything--his career, his integrity, and even his life--to hunt down his father's killer. Set in the secret, labyrinthine world of Swiss banking, Numbered Account, with its detail and intelligence, could have been written only by an insider--the author himself worked at a major Swiss bank for three years. Former U.S. marine and Harvard Business School graduate Nicholas Neumann seems to have it all: a dream job, a beautiful fiance, a future bright with promise. But beneath the dazzling veneer of this golden boy is a man haunted by the brutal killing of his father seventeen years before. And when new evidence implicates the venerable United Swiss Bank in the crime, Nick finds himself willing to do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.Leaving behind everything he holds dear, Nick takes a job in Zurich with the United Swiss Bank, and is soon plunged into a world where everything--loyalty, power, even life and death--can be bought and sold for the right price. As the secrets of the venerable bank are laid bare, suddenly Nick knows far too much--about the offer he never should have accepted, about the money he never should have handled, about the woman he never should have loved. And as the darkness gathers around him, Nick is faced with a shattering truth: To catch the criminal who murdered his father, he must become a criminal himself.A work of searing intelligence and sheer storytelling genius, Numbered Account is one of those rare thrillers that not only make you sweat, but make you think.
