Sinopsis

When her husband falls from the terrace of their NYC penthouse, a young widow is terrorized by his killer in this thriller from an Edgar Award winner. 
 
As the much younger wife of a wealthy man, Sue Desart has much to be grateful for. After her first fiancé was killed in Vietnam, she didn’t expect a great romance, only companionship and security, which Marcus Desart graciously offered. But moving into his eerie Manhattan penthouse, Sue realizes she doesn’t know her husband as well as she thought. And the specter of his first wife’s death—a woman brutally murdered on the penthouse terrace by an unknown perpetrator—begins to haunt her. Until the night Marcus falls from the terrace himself, landing a few feet from where his first wife’s body was found.  
 
Bereft and terrified, Sue must face life alone in the penthouse, with a killer on the loose, intent on making her his next victim.

    TEN DAYS. SEVEN DEADLY SINS. ZERO RI$K 
    When customer complaints on Christmas Eve about tenfold inflated bank balances herald not early gifts, nor a botched system upgrade, but the most sophisticated cyber attack in history, National Bank Chief Operating Officer Rob Tanner finds himself in the eye of a ‘Black Swan’ storm no one predicted, but anyone could have anticipated. Tanner enlists the help of brilliant American cyber security expert Ashley Markham, but the attacks only worsen. The only clue to the hacker’s intentions... cryptic daily emails, centred on Hieronymus Bosch’s medieval representation of the seven deadly sins. 
    With financial markets—and the very world as he knows it—on the brink of collapse, Tanner races against the clock to prevent unthinkable financial Armageddon, where money has no value, stock and bond prices are meaningless, and the economy is destroyed. Can he unravel the mystery of the hacker’s obsession with Bosch, sin and retribution before modern society returns to the dark ages?
