With this explosive best-seller, novelist Christopher Reich plummets you into the labyrinthine world of Swiss banking and its malignant ties to international crime. Numbered Account portrays a young banker risking everything he holds dear in a harrowing search for his father's killer. When Nicholas Neumann pages through his late father's business agendas, he finds disturbing comments about the United Swiss Bank in Zurich. His father had been working there 17 years ago when he was brutally murdered. Hoping to uncover the truth, Nicholas gives up a fast-track position in a New York investment firm to start over at the venerable Swiss bank. But Nicholas' new employer teaches a horrifying lesson: loyalty, power, and death itself can be had for a price. Narrator George Guidall's dramatic performance puts you on the scene as Nicholas grapples with treachery and violence around every corner.
Hi Everyone,
It's great to be part of Amazon's new Author Page. Here's a short bio.
I was born November 12, 1961 in Tokyo, Japan and moved to Los Angeles four years later, in late 1965. I graduated from Harvard School (now Harvard-Westlake) in 1979, then made the move to Washington DC where I attended the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Upon graduating with a degree in international economics (a field in which I was neither particularly gifted nor interested), I worked as a stock broker for two years. One day my best client said, "Chris, you're a nice guy, but you have no idea what you're doing in this business. You might get into trouble one day. You gotta get your butt to business school." I followed his advice and headed down to Austin, Tx, to earn an MBA at UT.
After graduating from UT, I moved even farther east....all the way to Switzerland, where I joined the Union Bank of Switzerland, first in Geneva and then in Zurich. I left banking and worked first as a consultant, and then as the CEO of a small watch company in Neuchatel. The only thing I missed out on was the chocolate business! Anyway, after 7 years in Switzerland, I decided that it was high time to become an author. I'd never written a short story and I hadn't taken a single English class in college. So what? I was a demon reader and I thought for sure I could do. My wonderful wife supported the decision wholeheartedly and we moved back to Austin, where I would write my first novel, Numbered Account.
The rest, as they say, is history....Or, as I say, "history in the making!!"
