THE NEW NOVEL INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO READ!
The Synod is a shadowy organization consisting of eight international banks that control the price of gold, stocks, bonds, and commodities. It is a vast conspiracy whose tentacles extend into every organ of government. Jack Severs, an idealistic young lawyer, accepts a job with a bank legal department. Just as he is settling in for the corporate life, a simple foreclosure case leads to a series of mysterious murders and suicides. He begins to learn about the Synod, which puts him, the woman he loves and their child at risk. He flees for his life, as the most sophisticated electronic surveillance system ever built deploys to track him down. While he runs from the ever-tightening noose, he seeks the critical evidence he needs to save himself and his world from collapsing.
SELECTED REVIEWS:
"Good Book. A must read for all Gold Investors and those interested in the Global Financial Markets. The beauty of Avery is that he has explained all the concepts that go into the 'price management' of Gold, neatly wrapped in a thriller so as to keep the audience riveted." Pavan Mullapudy - Verified Purchase (Kindle Edition) Amazon.in Dec. 9, 2016 *****
"Exciting and appealing novel, Ludlam`s style (the author should take this as a huge compliment)... Almost felt ashamed being a banker myself. The author appears to be very well informed of or acquainted with various banking and brokerage activities, both bona and mala fides, as well as with (anti) money laundering operations and regulations. That provides a special touch of genuineness to this story..." Gordana Aleksic Sep. 27, 2016 ****
"This is a good story, mostly well written. No doubt there is more than a grain of truth in the way the 'Great and the good' behave with total ruthlessness. Keeping stacking - if you don't know what that means then you should read this book." Unnamed Customer - Verified Purchase (Print Edition) Amazon.co.uk April 30, 2016 *****
..".It is not everyday that you find a book like that which is exceptionally well written, moves fast, and grips your attention... I had a hard time putting it down... The forward to the novel includes a detailed summary of all the real-world facts that inspired the author to write it." Marla Merlow Goodreads.com May 20, 2016 *****
"This was a good book. Well written and thoughtful. Good balance of action vs.characterization. Characters are deeper than you will find in most thrillers. Educational. Is it fiction or a true story? This I do not know. But, I do know that this is a book worth reading..."Jackie Martin Aug 16, 2016 Goodreads.com *****
