Customer Reviews

excellent business thriller!

From what I see of the reviews shown, that people either liked the book or didn't. Well, I really liked it. I have been reading a lot of political books lately, and this is indeed a book based on reality in many ways. A reality that many of us don't want to believe because we all hope that integrity and honesty is the basis that our businesses and the people in our government hold to, but, alas, money and the power that it can produce is far too hard for many to resist.It is a political story about how an investment group, a crooked senator, military people and others manipulate to get defense contracts so that certain people can make a lot of money. We have seen a lot of this lately ourselves. I am sure there are a few details that someone who is more familiar with the procedures involved in acquiring defense contracts could disagree with, but as a novice myself, and as this is just a book of fiction, I found it to be fascinating.David Mitchell, a young man who came up from a poor background, has been working at a job that he hopes will fulfill his dreams of becoming rich, even if he has to do a few things that aren't exactly kosher in the legal department. As he isn't a crook by nature, he is having doubts about his job. He has been manipulated by the people he is working for into using poor judgement in his actions and now it may be too late to get out.Jessie Hayes' boss, in the IRS, dies suddenly of a mysterious heart attack, and she receives a delayed memo from him about a case he was working on-very secretive. She finds the file where he said he had hidden it and is almost killed in the process. There is murder, mystery and thrills to the end of the book. I wasn't disappointed.

EXCELLENT NON-STOP THRILLER

From the moment I picked up this book and read the brief description on the back, I simply could not put it down. Frey had my undivided attention from page to page. The drama and suspense had me biting my nails! A real thumbs up. I just can't wait to read The Legacy. This book will not disappoint thriller lovers.

one of the best political/business thrillers

A great book written by a great professional storyteller. You can feel the authors background of the world of business. I've had a great time with this book and for Germans it's a great view into the American way of politics and business. Thank You for this wonderfull thriller and I'll read also the other books of Mr. Frey.

The Inner Sanctum is a excellent book.

The Inner Sanctum was an excellent book. It was exciting right from the start. I couldn't put it down. You never could tell what was going to happen. I was difficult to determine who was good and who was bad. That made this book extremely interesting. It is better than The Vulture Fund and The Take Over. I reccommed that you read it. If you liked his other books you will enjoy this one. If you also read Verticle Run By Joseph R. Garber and liked that you will like this book. They have a lot of similarities. Any John Grisham fan would also like this book.

Stephen Fry is batting 1000%

Stephen Fry is now 3 or 3 in his latest thiller about the abuse of power by high officials in government and wall street. This book has an excellent plot that keeps you turning the pages. The story never slows. A very fast read, simply because you can't put it down. Fry is one of the best new authors I've read in years
