Now getting it back will take…
The perfect crime.
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 in 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.
Set in New York City, Michael Ledwidge's The Girl in the Vault masterfully unfolds the perfect fast-paced, explosive crime novel, with twists and turns that are sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats in the same realm of Ocean's movies, and Mission Impossible. It’s summer in New York City and Faye Walker has it all. She has a fresh Advanced MBA degree. She’s scored one of the most highly coveted internships in all of Wall Street, and 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 Greene Brothers Hale, one of the largest investment firms in New York City. She is one of the hardest workers in the firm, but being a hard worker never wins against office politics. Just as she awaits her offer and her signing bonus, a treacherous betrayal arrives to shatter Faye’s plans and her young life. After helping a co-worker correct a major mistake that could cost the company billions, Faye learns the real truth about working on Wall Street.
You can't trust anyone. Not when your co-worker is sleeping with your boss to get the job that you worked so hard for. Not when your boss thinks that he is doing you a favor by offering a lower-paying return instead. 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.
Armed with an unwavering resolve to escape her small-town origins, Faye hatches a daring plan that involves orchestrating an audacious heist—a heist that centers around a jaw-dropping ten million dollars in cold, hard Wall Street cash. She enlists the help of a junkie, Gareth Hayes, the estranged son of a wealthy client, to assist her in her plan. Faye's plan seems almost comical in how easy things appear to go. Until she's met with some resistance and tragedy strikes.
While Faye sets a meticulous plan in action, there is the side story of her friend Cavan, a horse-drawn cabbie who is working hard to earn his green card so that he can become a firefighter in New York and not have to return home to Ireland. While Faye is offering emotional support to Cavan, she is also trying to get her sister, Caitlin, away from Kentucky and to move her closer. You can read this book and say, wow, Bernie Madoff has nothing on Faye. Or, you can just enjoy the book and believe that you are watching Danny Ocean and his crew steal from a bad man who owns a casino.
