Selected by Indie Booksellers for the September 2009 Indie Notables“Joseph Finder has created a fabulous new character, Nick Heller, who is ex-Special Forces with important contacts and brilliant deductive reasoning.

Description
Nick Heller is tough, smart, and stubborn. And in his line of work, those traits are essential. Trained in the Special Forces, Nick is an intelligence investigator -- his job: to expose secrets powerful people would rather keep hidden. He's also the man to call when you need a problem fixed. Desperate, Nick's nephew Gabe, calls Nick. Gabe's mother, Lauren, has been attacked and lies in a coma, and his stepfather Roger, Nick's brother, has vanished without a trace. Nick and Roger have been on the outs since their father, the "fugitive financier" went to jail, and Roger followed in his father's footsteps. Now Nick's search for his brother puts him on a collision course with one of the most powerful corporations in the world -- and it will protect its secrets at any cost.

From Boston Phoenix, Boston, Massachusetts
Truth can be stranger than fiction. When Boston thriller writer Joseph Finder discovered how easy it would be for someone to sneak into this country with a fake passport, he didn't put that into his 1995 book Zero Hour. But the one-time CIA recruit hasn't held back on other trade secrets.
