GIRL IN THE VAULT

A bold new stand-alone thriller from long-time James Patterson coauthor, Michael Ledwidge. The Firm meets Double Indemnity in the person of Fay Walker, who came to New York City for a summer internship on Wall Street with an iron-clad plan for success. Fay didn't escape her past by being anybody's fool - if she doesn't get what she wants, she'll just take it.

It's summer in New York City and Faye Walker has it all. She's not only scored one of the most highly coveted internships on all of Wall Street, she's also just met the head-over-heels love of her life. With her natural-born gift for numbers and a work ethic that knows no bounds, Faye is a shoo-in for a full-time position at the illustrious merchant bank Greene Brothers Hale. Then, just as she awaits her offer and her signing bonus, a treacherous betrayal arrives to shatter Faye's plans and her young life. But what her high finance masters-of-the-universe bosses don't know is that Faye isn't like any of the other interns. Having made her way past her humble small-town beginnings, for Faye, going back is not an option. That's why Faye now has a new plan. One that involves Swiss watch timing, nerves of steel and ten million dollars in cold hard Wall Street cash. Michael Ledwidge is the writer of seventeen novels, the last dozen being New York Times bestsellers cowritten with one of the world's bestselling authors, James Patterson. With twenty million copies in print, their Michael Bennett Series is the highest-selling New York City detective series of all time. One of their novels, Zoo, became a three-season CBS television series. He lives in Connecticut.
