An outstanding thriller true to the complexities of today's global economy, exposing corruption in high places in an original plot and with (mostly) believable characters. The main character is a smart lawyer who gets into debt way over her head, then goes crashing down when she loses her job, experiences a lean five years and even goes to prison for a few months before regaining her footing in society. Although I didn't follow all the legal maneuverings in the second half of the book, I felt this novel was realistic, dramatic and engrossing. Highly recommended.
