Buy low, sell high, get out alive!

Money is Sarah Jensen’s playground. In the international markets, she’s one of the most successful foreign-exchange traders: brilliant, beautiful, unpredictable and with a taste for risk. She’s the perfect undercover agent to infiltrate the cutthroat Inter-Continental Bank and investigate questionable trading practices for the Governor of the Bank of England. Her target is Dante Scarpirato, a smooth, arrogant high-stakes trader who’s making a killing in—and out of—the markets. For Sarah, he’s the ultimate risk…

But the multi-million dollar trading scheme she penetrates is only the tip of an international conspiracy. Now Sarah, the hunter, finds herself hunted. Determined to bring down the officials who betrayed her — and the assassins who have her in their sights, Sarah turns rogue….

NEST OF VIPERS is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I EVER READ!!, 16 April 2002 -Amazon review
By Imperial Topaz (Marrakesh, Morocco)

I read this book in a day, and I just couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed the female heroine. In fact, I would have liked to BE her! I used to be a stockbroker in Denver, Colorado, and really enjoyed the female heroine, with all the vicarious thrills of her life!!! One of the best books I’ve ever read in my life.

The first Linda Davies book I have read and it certainly wont be the last. Excellent storyline and couldnt put the book down – the kind of book which would be great as a film. Looking forward to reading her next book. I wouldd definately recommend this book.

Another great book from this author, if you are considering it I would personally recommend it. Linda gives an insight into the banking world – the murkier side without it becomming boring and then the action blows you away!
