Description
Two brothers who are desperately chasing success get more than they bargained for in this suspenseful cat-and-mouse thriller of wealth, crime, and social climbing.
Two brothers. Three secret service agents. And millions for the taking. Charlie and Oliver Caruso are brothers who work at Greene and Greene, a private bank so exclusive there's a $2 million minimum to be a client. But when the door of success slams in their faces, the brothers are presented with an offer they can't refuse: $3 million in an abandoned account that can't be traced. It's the perfect victimless crime. Charlie and Oliver opt to take the money, but get much more than they bargained for. Now, with a lot of extra zeroes in their pockets and a friend found dead, the Secret Service and a female private investigator are closing in. Whose money did they take? How will they stay alive? And why is the Secret Service trying to kill them? Both Charlie and Oliver quickly realize it's not easy being The Millionaires.
Reviews
The millionaires
5By JMac1212Great read! One of the best books I have read in a long time. Great from start to finish.Blah!
2By Leagle1The book dragged on with difficult dialogue and unlivable characters. I finished it...and was glad to have it done. If Metzler hadn't droned on with boring and improbable conversations between the brothers and concentrated on the true issues driving the plot, the story would have been more enjoyable. Unanswered questions and the use of Disney world were major distractions to the book. Perhaps by including the "Mouse" The author hoped to get a screenplay deal. All in all it read like a bad and misguided screenplay for a television show.Great read
4By AshManKyA little too much said with a look...but a good read nonetheless.The Millionaires
5By GlftxiVery satisfying read. It showed a great deal of research into off shore banking. There was beautiful character development.Irritating character
1By AzulreignaI started this book and could not finish because the character named Charlie was so irritating. The main characters were either yelling at each other all the time, running or sweating. I'm irritated that I spent $7.99 on this book.Amazing
5By Nolds85Quite simply one of the best books I've ever read. You won't want to put this thing down. I've read three other Meltzer novels just because my girlfriend made me read this one... by far this is his best work in my opinion. Buy it. Read it. Love it
