This is the second five star read by this author and I am sure I will read more. It was definitely a page turner with plenty of twists and turns and a bit of romance thrown in. Page turner for me; a fun read.

I've been a published novelist for longer than I care to admit, since I'm frequently asked, however, how I first got published. It's an interesting story and involved both Robert Ludlum and James Baldwin, even though neither of them knew it or me at the time. My first agent, a wonderful thorughly perofessional gentleman named Robert Lantz was representing Mr. Baldwin at the time. Th I've been a published novelist for longer than I care to admit, since This was around Balwin, while a brilliant writer, had had some nasty dealings with the head of Dell Publishing.

Dell held Jimmy's contract at the time and he could not legally write for anyone else until he gave Dell a book that was due to them. Nonetheless, he refused to deliver a manuscript to Dell and went to Paris to sit things out.

The book was due to The Dial Press, which Dell owned. Baldwin was widely quoted as saying The editor in chief of The Dial Press was a stellar editor who was making a name for himself and a fair bit of money for the company publishing thriller-author Robert Ludlum. A best seller every year will do that for an editor.

Anyway, Baldwin fled New York for Paris. The editor followed, the asignment being to get him to come happily back to Dial. As soon as the editor arrived, Baldwin fled to Algeria.

The editor returned to NY without his quarry. Things were at a standstill. That's where I entered the story, unpublished at age 27 and knowing enough to keep my mouth shut while these things went down. I had given pages of a first novel to Mr. Lantz ten days eariler.

Miraculously, his reader liked it and then HE liked it. It was in the same genre that Ludlum wrote in and which the editor at Dial excelled at editing and marketing. My agent and the editor ran into each other one afternoon in July of in one of those swank Manhattan places where people used to have three martinis for lunch. The agent asked how things had gone in Europe. The editor told him, knowing full well that the agent already knew. IF Dial wanted me after reading my pages, he could sign me, but only IF Baldwin was released from his obligations at Doubleday.

I was the literary bribe, so to speak, that would get Jimmy free from Dial. It seemed like a great idea to everyone. It seemed that way because it was. Paperwork was prepapred and paperwork was signed. Or a ruthless and amoral monster who put his vast financial machine behind the highest bidder? Leslie McAdam calls him by another name: Based on a shocking and shameful episode in history that threatened to alter the course of the world's economic future, The Sandler Inquiry tells a gripping and unforgettable story of espionage and intrigue, loyalty and love, set in the sprawling ragged violence-prone New York City of the 's.

Determined to claim her rightful inheritance — and to uncover the shrouded past of the man she knew as her father — Leslie has come to Thomas Daniels, a New York attorney haunted by his own bloodstained family history. Yet not even Daniels can imagine what lies beneath decades-old secrets when he launches an inquiry into his client's murky past. As he moves through the twisting labyrinth of the world's intelligence community, he uncovers a monstrous link between the man who called himself Karl Sandler and a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of government From America to Europe to Soviet Russia, he pursues a cold trail that is suddenly red-hot, as the violence of the past lives again and Daniels is stalked by a deadly adversary who must keep the truth buried at all costs.

The Sandler Inquiry

Incredible tension, byzantine plotting, fascinating people. Keeps you off balance and guessing all the way. How it all works out is enthralling and chilling.

For those who revel in suspicious characters, sinister happenings and baffling mystery, Noel Hynd's latest novel is a delight. Keeps the reader on the edge of his seat!
