Description
A thrilling fusion of mystery and suspense.
Eric Martin is desperate to forget his past, one that almost cost him his future.
Working in Paris as deputy head of a bank's internal security department, Eric notices a high-speed trader's uncanny ability to predict extremely profitable trades. Even though there's nothing illegal about the activity, he knows the trader's success is more than just luck.
But, no one believes him. Armed only with a handful of data and a powerful instinct, Eric searches for the mysterious trader on his own. He suspects that a predictive algorithm has fallen into the wrong hands.
Eric sets off for Istanbul to find answers promised to him by an informant. He finds an unlikely ally in Interpol agent Stephanie Brule. With Interpol wanting him back in Paris and out of the way, Eric's quest is also hampered by the sudden appearance of his ex-lover, a boss he's not sure he can trust, and a terrorist who always seems one step ahead.
Will Eric put an end, once and for all, to the nightmare that began when he accepted a job that was too good to be true? Or will his need for revenge and justice lead him deeper into a treacherous world he has no way of escaping?
Advance Praise
I enjoyed the book immensely. The plot is exciting and fast paced, but I also learned interesting things about Turkey and Istanbul and the Cappadocia region. (I was so intrigued that I looked some of the places up online to check for veracity.) I appreciated his insight into the way the old world and the new generations live and thrive in unison in Turkey.
The main protagonist, Eric Martin, is wonderfully flawed, and yet admirably tenacious. Some of the scenes in this book are frightening and brutal. Martin is not portrayed as a super hero who can deflect bullets and escape at every turn. He is very human. He gets hurt, he gets beaten senseless, he has scraped knuckles, cuts and bruises. He fights to get back up and heal, and then he is on the trail of his enemies again.
Other scenes are hilarious—I laughed out loud when he stole a truck and chased the bad guys down the road and through a street market. The scene was so descriptive, I could virtually see things flying and people fleeing - Amazon 5 starWith the Nomad’s Premonition, Georges Benay offers an excellent companion read to his first book in the Nomad series. His protagonist, Eric Martin, is offered a job that sounds too good to be true. Instead, he’s drawn back to the truth behind a mysterious trader with an uncanny ability to predict the precise times to buy and sell. Once again, Eric suspects the predictive trading algorithm has fallen into the wrong hands.
If Eric was playing Texas Holdem Poker, his story is the equivalent of deciding to go “all in.”
He risks everything to find out who is behind the curtain of deception.
Benay treats his readers to great character development, exciting adventure, and makes use of settings he is obviously on familiar terms with. It also takes a writer who has a personal understanding of the financial world Eric Martin inhabits.
No plot spoiler here, but a solid recommendation to join Benay’s list of readers. Five stars! - 5 Star Amazon
