DARK POOL

Dad has Alzheimer’s. 

Could he really steal 40 billion dollars?

A disgraced hedge fund manager awaits trial for bilking investors out of forty billion dollars. The legendary dark pool wizard offered phenomenal profits, but the SEC discovered he never made a single legitimate investment. His hedge fund scammed thousands of people, including a Russian mobster.
For Maggie Fender, a law degree remains a daydream as she struggles to support her ex-felon teen brother and their incoherent father. Suffering from Alzheimer's, Dad's rarely lucid, but that fact doesn't stop the police from arresting him for murder.
Their father barely functions, but her hacker brother swears Dad is sending them vital messages about the missing billions. When a private investigator and the Russian mobster focus their efforts on Maggie's father, her remaining hope turns to rampant fear. 
She's the only adult in her family, and her weary camel won't carry a single extra straw. Her brother's hacking conviction landed him in prison and trashed the family's reputation, but he swears he was framed. No fans of the Fender family, the local police assume Dad ran away when he's kidnapped. 

With her father's life in danger, who can Maggie trust when everyone has betrayed her?

FROM READERS:

this novel, moved me far more!

RECOMMENDED READING ORDER:

All my stories intersect, so your favorite characters in one novel may reappear in a completely different series—Doug Bryant and FBI agent Claudia Seagal chase an assassin in OCEAN OF FEAR. Clint Masters makes a rare offer to Baxter Cruise in SPIDER GAMES. Vonda Creevy trusts Kurt Meyers with her misfortune in DARK POOL. Mine is a single story world, where storylines and people cross into other lives. Consequently, my books could be read either by series or by the order in which they were written, so I’ve included both lists:

The Masters CIA Thriller Series
   3 LIES
   THE MASTERS’ KEY
   DEAD STORM

The Cruise FBI Thriller Series
   OCEAN OF FEAR
   SPIDER GAMES
   ECHOES FROM DEATH

The Fender Hacker Thriller Series
   DARK POOL

By Publication Date:
