Step into an international financial thriller that whisks you away to the paneled boardrooms and lavish penthouses of the New York elite, and reveals the skeletons that threaten to take them down. The Star tabloid is on the brink of bankruptcy. Reputations and livelihoods are on the line-until Winston Crumm, owner and figurehead of The Star, gets an offer he can't refuse. Equally arrogant, Corbin van Sloot is the bank CEO that is about to pull the Star's loan and leave it flailing. As incompetent as Crumm may be in running his business, he knows that money talks. He's ready to cut a deal with someone else in order to secure his cushy position, even if it means rubbing elbows with ruthless Russian oligarch Maxim Ripovsky. Ripovsky smells blood in the water and goes in for the kill. He's not afraid to rock the upper echelons of global power to weasel his way into the upper crust of American blue blood. From the skylines of New York and London to the English countryside and Nantucket, enterprising financial journalist Bob Mandell finds himself caught up in this shadowy world of corruption, financial skullduggery, and sexual blackmail. Exposing their web of deceit and underhanded moves could bring their whole operation crashing down, and while Bob is no stranger to making powerful enemies...he may have bitten off more than he can chew. A brilliant exposé of the lifestyle, desires, and foibles of the rich and powerful from a financial journalist who has seen it all. Praise for Squeeze Plays: "Marshall's jocular prose is a perfect match for the blazer-clad, sharp-elbowed world... delightfully barbed sendups of the New York business milieu" - Kirkus Reviews "A sharp examination of power and corporate greed" - Independent Book Review "The best character-driven novel I've read in a year." - Readers Favorite
