Holding Patterns / James Huk (ePub)

"A fast-paced, pulse-pounding financial thriller that Sheldon Siegel fans will love." - BestThrillers.com

After being accused of stealing 6 million dollars from his employer, global financial powerhouse CFK, then suspended by SEC attorney Frank Favara, Julian Maslow pilots his friend and Wall Street executive Gary Becker in a single-prop aircraft to a client meeting on Hilton Head. Now, a day later, he's sitting in the Beaufort Country drunk-tank, sober as a judge, trying to figure out when and how his slide down the pyramid to this place started.

In Manhattan, Favara is working hard to put Julian away, convinced of his guilt. While pressuring Marta Piatek, Julian's second in command, he finds evidence of her possible involvement in the crime. In Connecticut, Julian's wife Christine is left behind with their two kids, baffled that her husband would fly off to play golf at a time like this. And when her brother Dan whispers in her ear about the financial consequences to her family if Julian goes to prison, she demands answers and access. But what does Dan really want from the situation?

Holding Patterns is a literary financial crime thriller that follows Julian as he questions what is truly essential in his life, and struggles to break from the patterns that prevent him from attaining them.

"Boasting an explosive conclusion, the novel Holding Patterns follows a strategic investment banker as he attempts to escape his past and discovers what matters most." - Foreword Clarion Reviews (4 out of 5)
