What this book is about
On the day after Thanksgiving, a group of Vietnam veterans executes a horrifying plan: to destroy Wall Street and take down the American economy with it. FBI agent Harry Stemkowsky and his partner must stop the attack before the stock exchange opens. Patterson's early standalone thriller is a propulsive, intense ride through terrorism and financial panic.
