Product Description

From Library Journal

Jay West leaves his job at a commercial bank to take what he feels will be a more exciting and lucrative position at the investment firm of McCarthy and Lloyd. But he finds more excitement than he bargained for: shortly after arriving at the firm, a colleague disappears and is found murdered, and there are indications that some of his associates are involved in illegal trading and other serious crimes. Gradually Jay realizes that he may be facing a life-threatening situation. Easygoing and low key, he is surrounded by more intense personalities, each with his or her own motivations. He starts out with a na vet that disappears as he discovers what is really going on, demonstrating confidence and intelligence that enable him to handle whatever situations arise. The author maintains a suspenseful atmosphere throughout. Narrator Jack Garrett reads at an even pace that keeps the story moving along; his characterizations capture the individual identities of the players in this drama. Highly recommended for all fiction collections.DCatherine Swenson, Norwich Univ., Northfield, VT

From AudioFile

For Jay West a dream job with a promised million-dollar bonus at a prominent investment firm turns into a nightmare as he finds himself accused of insider trading. Stephen Frey's thriller takes Jay into the world of Wall Street and adds gunrunning and national and international politics to the equation. While the international connections seem a bit strained, Jack Garrett's narration keeps the novel moving at just the right pace. Although Garrett's Irish accents are inconsistent, his pace and subtlety keep the reader's interest by not overpowering the intrigue and allowing the story to build to its surprising ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one, Jul 12 2003

By	David A. Spearman (Harbor Beach, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Insider (Mass Market Paperback)

I find Mr. Freys stories to be fast and attention holding in fact of a real page turner it is. I have read all but one of his books and find the financial world very interesting. he potrays a lot of what is happening right now in 2003 but written back in 1998. I will continue to enjoy his writings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good read, Feb 19 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Insider (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a good, fast read. I was looking for a fiction novel in the financial arena, and this one worked. It kept my attention, was about as believable as any fiction novel (if it were like real life, who would read it?), and gave some basic lessons from the investment world. Better than The Takeover, which I liked OK, but whose premise was sillier.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining if you can forgive a weak plot
If you are willing to completely let go of reality, you might enjoy this one. Ok, so the plot is a little thin and the characters could definitely use a little more substance... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Escape Literature
I would recommend Stephen Frey's The Insider to anyone who enjoys reading novels solely for the purpose of suspense. The Insider is an adequate piece of escape literature. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic, poorly written, can't-suspend-belief-enough plot
All these reviews must have been written by Frey himself.

These are poorly written books, cardboard characters.

Some good info on insider trading. Read more
