Money to Burn by James Grippando
Reviewed by Nancy Eaton
Michael Cantella seems to have it all. He is very successful manager/broker at one of the largest investment firms in the world. Everything seems to start falling apart and Michael seems to be caught in a nightmare with no end.
It all starts when his wife, Ivy, disappears on their honeymoon. She is later declared dead.
Several years later, Michael now has another wife and is still successful until the eve of his thirty-fifth birthday. He had a seven-figure portfolio and checked on it often through the computer. When he checked the portfolio this time, he could not believe what he saw – a balance of zero. Apparently, a transaction was made and his assets were transferred to an offshore account. Everything pointed to Michael. The transaction was done on his personal computer with his password. This was all done while he was attending a birthday party his wife planned for him. How could this have happened? How could Michael prove he did not transfer the money?
Within hours, Michael’s life started to spin out of control. Not only did he lose his money but also he was losing his job, his home and his wife.
Michael now realizes he has an enemy somewhere who was trying to get revenge. Now he does not know whom to trust. Who could want to get revenge on Michael? Is he able to find the answer?
Money to Burn is a novel that will capture you from the very first page. It is a fast paced page-turner and keeps right on going to the very end. James Grippando is a skilled writer and knows how to make a story stay with the reader. This novel has it all – tension, suspense and many surprises. One thing for sure – the reader will be kept guessing! Highly recommended.
