The informant

Eager to leave his banking job and get in on the big moves, Jay West lands a coveted position at the powerful investment firm Donovan & Lloyd, working for the influential and charismatic Oliver Mason, a negotiator with the Midas touch, and a fierce ally who puts Jay in the job. Encouraged by a million-dollar year-end bonus, Jay tries to make his mark, unaware that he's falling into an exquisite trap—seduced by the tantalizing promise of power and influence. Jay soon suspects that Oliver's stellar resume is more than the result of hard work or good luck. The man seems to have it all—not just fast cars and a luxurious Connecticut home, but a violent temper, a crumbling marriage, and an endless thirst for money and prestige. The stakes rise when a co-worker is brutally murdered, and the beautiful and mysterious Sally Lane joins the team, a blonde with the ability to extract secrets from others—while seductively hiding her own. With the conspiracy of fraud and corruption beginning to close in around him, Jay rushes to debunk the sordid stories that quickly and conveniently tarnished his name. Trusting no one and staying one step ahead of the law and his unknown adversaries, Jay relies on his own skill and wits to stay in the game—and stay alive. With a breakneck pace from the first page, The Insider is an action thriller filled with money and sex, passion and ruthless competition, survival and power—at any cost. A gripping novel that takes us deeper into the volatile world of blind ambition, million-dollar deals, and the daydreams of those willing to risk everything to make a profit.
