Description
ONE ALGORITHM: EXECUTED. FOUR TONS OF GOLD: GONE. In January 2020, FLASH CRASH was selected by Best Thrillers as one of the twelve "BEST CRIME THRILLERS OF THE PAST DECADE" alongside Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and others!

"As entertainingly raunchy as The Wolf of Wall Street or the Showtime TV series Billions." -Kirkus Reviews When a rogue quantitative programmer intentionally crashes the gold index, it seems that Wall Street's worst nightmare has come true.

In truth, the crisis has just begun.

Across town, an armored truck filled with $120M of gold bullion is hijacked by an ingeniously crafted electromagnetic crane and seemingly driven into thin air.

Hacker David Belov discovers that his virtual "Flash Crash" was simply a required stepping stone towards the largest physical gold robbery in history, and that's he's been framed for the resulting chaos, the lives of his beloved wife and son on the balance...

Even worse, the cops are on David's tail.

Brooding, hardboiled detective Jake Rivett wants to crack the case wide open. With Jake and the NYPD's finest operators from the Major Crimes Division actively seeking to locate and arrest David--and other, darker elements nipping at his heels--David is forced to confront his own past in order to have a future.

He wants to prove his innocence.

Unless he's actually the guilty one...

The Flash Crash case propels David and Rivett from the corridors of elite trading floors in the untouchable and hubristic spires of Manhattan to the row houses and local mobsters of Bensonhurst.

And eventually, it will lead them all the way to an impenetrable gold vault filled with hundreds of tons of untraceable commodities...

FLASH CRASH... is a modern cyber heist thriller and financial thriller for the current day, filled with family, friends, and organized criminals on all rungs of society, and brimming with intense, exhilarating action set pieces and neck-breaking twists.

FLASH CRASH is... "an absolute bullseye, reinventing the heist thriller for the information age." - BestThrillers ("One of the year's Best Thrillers")
