When Abbys private school notifies him that shell be expelled unless Danny pays his astronomical tuition bill, he dreads forcing more change in Abbys life. So, Danny thinks hes dodged an emotional bullet when he accepts a loan from Thomas Galvin, father of Abbys best friend. But, before relief sinks in, Danny is summoned to an undercover DEA office and informed that the loan implicates him in their case against Galvin, a money-launderer for the Sinaloa drug cartel. Danny can either work undercover or face indictment, and a public indictment will alert chainsaw-wielding cartel enforcers. Danny takes the DEAs deal, but hes no 007, and every moment undercover is torture. Thriller veteran Finder merits applause for this streamlined story made believable by Dannys everyman character; readers will find his palpable guilt and fear instantly relatable. For a cartel read-alike, try Richard Langes Angel Baby (2013). --Christine Tran Review Praise for Suspicion : Lock yourself in a room with Suspicion and dont come out until youve read every last word. Completely original, emotionally satisfying, expertly twisted, and genuinely entertaining. Suspicion is the thriller to read this year. I loved it. Lisa Gardner Joseph Finder has always been out there on the front edge of things. With Suspicion he does it again, giving us a novel that is as timely and cognizant of contemporary society as it is a startling seat of the pants thrill ride. In Finder's hands one man's fight for survival becomes an everyman's journey to the light. Michael Connelly Suspicion is Joseph Finder at the absolute top of his form: a heart-pounding, sweaty-palmed, utterly terrifying ride. Tess Gerritsen "Is this Joseph Finder's best thriller yet? It gets my vote. So many twists and shocks. It kept me reading all night." R.L. Stine "Finder fans as well as devotees of action-packed suspense have a great read ahead. The taut pacing, staccato chapters, and ingenious plot, especially Finder's characteristically creative use of digital surveillance techniques, guarantees a literary thrill ride."
