The Vault
A gripping, twisting and explosive thriller from the long-time James Patterson co-author.
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...

Faye Walker is an intern at a very prestigious merchant bank, as part of an intern programme she is out for a permanent role all whilst enjoying a hot summer with her perfect man.
However, things quickly go sour and Faye needs an alternative plan and so begins an audacious plan to get revenge. Yes, it absolutely takes realism to extremes, implausible ones at that but there’s something about the writing that still makes this an enjoyable, thrill ride. The characters are well crafted and the plotting in the second half is very good. The only thing that lets this down slightly is the first part as it does take a while to build up some momentum but when it does it’s a typical, fun Ledwidge read.

Extremely clever narrative. How does one conjure up an incredibly elaborate plan such as this?
It’s a must read!
