Summary: Adam's goal is to track down the ruthless mastermind
Comment: The Devil's Banker by Christopher Reich is the thrilling tale of Adam Chapel, a forensic accountant struggling against a horrific terrorist agenda. Adam's goal is to track down the ruthless mastermind who is manipulating immense amounts of money to stage an Armageddon before it is too late. But his enemy's powers are implacable and as far-reaching as the almighty dollar itself. Flawlessly recorded, completely unabridged, and dramatically narrated by John Lee, The Devil's Banker is a terrifying and an all-too-real drama which is enthusiastically recommended for audiobook collections.

Summary: The New Forsyth
Comment: Simply put, a great tale. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it to be Reich's best yet. The methodical manner in which Chapel, the hero, unravels Mr. Gabriel's (the Devil's Banker) plot and tracks hims down reminded me of the hunt for the Jackal in Frederick Forsyth's Day of the Jackal, one of my all time favorites. If I had a criticism, it is that the book should have been longer. There were several subplots I was curious to learn more about, namely the traffic of pirated software in South America. Only one question: Is there really a sex club in Paris named Cleopatre?

Summary: Reads about as exciting as an accountant's spreadsheet
Comment: Adam Chapel is a CIA agent who is actually a forensic accountant. He follows trails of money. There is an apparent plot for another terrorist attack in the US. To determine the source of the plot and to stop it, the CIA uses Adam Chapel to follow a trail of money which presumably would lead to the terrorists. Teaming with Chapel is British agent Sarah Churchill. They must race with time to prevent another disaster of at least equal proportion to 9/11.
A forensic accountant! Good G-d what will they think of next? Riech, a former banker, has written several previous novels concerning international high finance. All of them are considerably more successful thrillers than this one. There are many moments in this very long book that it reads about as exciting as an accountant's spreadsheet. The plot is highly predictable and the characters are, like this book, quite forgettable.
