Bad Connection

Among the money-mad, power-driving figures peopling Michael Ledwidge's noir-soaked Bad Connection, a powerful CEO & an ordinary working man come together by a twist of fate to go head-to-head in a high-stakes scheme of greed & deadly corporate conspiracy. New York City telephone man Sean Macklin has a good enough life, but he wishes he could get his hands on some extra dough & move with his disabled wife to Florida. So when he inadvertently taps into a secret conversation between an investment banker & a dotcom entrepreneur, & before his conscience can tell him otherwise, he turns his insider information of an imminent merger into a tidy profit through day trading. As his taste for subversive stock deals grows, so do the risks. But the day he taps into the line of a ruthless CEO & overhears much more than he had ever bargained for, Macklin's get-rich-quick dream of a better life instantly becomes a fatal nightmare. From Manhattan boardrooms to Bronx streets, Ledwidge's excellent follow-up to The Narrowback takes readers on a cutthroat ride down into the depths to which men will sink to protect their interests. Praise for The Narrowback: "Michael Ledwidge can write, & I mean really write....As auspicious a debut as I've seen in years." --James Patterson.Ledwidge, Michael is the author of 'Bad Connection' with ISBN 9780743405935 and ISBN 0743405935.
