The Lies We Trade
by Kristine Delano
A high-powered Wall Street career, a beautiful family in a quiet suburban neighborhood--she seems to have everything. Which means she has everything to lose. Meredith Hansel should be having the best week of her life. After establishing herself as a portfolio manager at a prestigious Wall Street firm, she's in the national spotlight for the innovative funds she created. But as Meredith prepares to celebrate, the plates she's kept spinning for years begin to crash: Her strained marriage reaches a breaking point. Her conscientious teenage daughter acts out under mysterious pressures. Someone vandalizes her home with disturbing graffiti. And Betsey, her most trusted ally at the financial firm, goes rogue, and Meredith is forced to sign a restraining order against her. Then her worlds collide when she receives a thumb drive and a cryptic note from Betsey threatening to reveal a secret that could have devastating effects on Meredith's family . . . unless she can figure out what Betsey wants and deliver it in time. As Meredith begins to dig into the data, however, she begins to suspect that it's no coincidence her life is crumbling. That maybe what's happening to her family is connected to what's boiling beneath the surface at her investment company. Soon Meredith realizes there's only one way to avoid taking the fall, and it all hinges on Betsey's true motives. Was she really threatening Meredith or trying to warn her? Great for fans of Colleen Coble, Laura Dave, Dani Pettrey, and Lisa Scottoline.
