Cristina Alger

When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, his FBI agent daughter Nell returns to the house she grew up in for the first time in 12 years. At the behest of her father's partner Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young Hispanic women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect - and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mother's murder - and her own role in exonerating her father in that case - Nell can't help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why.

The Darlings

"Charlie Goldwyn's life hasn't exactly gone according to plan. Widowerhood at thirty-three and twelve-hour workdays have left a gap in his relationship with his quirky five-year-old son Caleb ... The only thing Charlie has going for him is his job at a prestigious law firm, where he is finally close to becoming a partner. But when a slight lapse in judgment at an office party leaves him humiliatingly unemployed, stuck at home with Caleb for the summer, and forced to face his own estranged father, Charlie starts to realize that there's more to fatherhood than financially providing for his son, and more to being a son than overtaking his father's successes"--Dust jacket flap.

En épousant Merrill par amour, le jeune avocat Paul Ross est entré dans le clan Darling avec son cortège de privilèges : un appartement sur Park Avenue, un job en or, des week-ends dans les Hampton et des soirées avec le tout Manhattan. Mais bientôt Wall Street plonge et les grandes banques menacent de s'effondrer. Un scandale vient éclabousser la famille Darling, la propulsant sous les feux des médias, et Paul doit choisir son camp. Sauver sa peau en trahissant sa femme et les siens ou les protéger, coûte que coûte. Cristina Alger pose un regard subtil et implacable sur cette haute société new-yorkaise dont la crise financière de 2008 va faire voler en éclats les certitudes. Un roman étincelant, drôle et féroce, aussi tendu qu'un thriller, sur lequel plane l'ombre de Madoff. La crise a du bon. Grâce à elle, il y a des romans comme Park Avenue. Eric Neuhoff, Le Figaro.

Park Avenue

„O carte de primă mână. Rafinată, îți va opri inima în loc.“ The New York Times Book Review Lumea finanțelor nu a fost niciodată mai periculoasă, iar viețile private ale celor mai puternici oameni din sistemul bancar, niciodată mai fascinante! Într-o dimineață de noiembrie, un avion privat, aflat în drum spre Geneva, dispare de pe radar, iar rămășițele lui sunt găsite undeva în Alpi. La bord se afla Matthew Werner, bancher la Swiss United. Văduva lui, tânăra Annabel, rămâne cu un laptop codat și cu o listă de clienți dubioși, dar, mai ales, cu multe întrebări fără răspuns și cu convingerea că moartea soțului ei nu a fost un accident. Marina Tourneau, jurnalistă de scandal, s-a logodit cu Grant Ellis, moștenitorul unei familii extrem de bogate, așa că nu vrea să mai scrie despre viețile luxoase ale elitei New Yorkului, ci să facă parte din ea. Dar, înainte, vrea să mai cerceteze o singură pistă: a descoperit la Swiss United informații care îi privesc pe unii dintre cei mai importanți oameni din lumea financiară. Știrea aceasta ar putea să-i aducă lui Annabel răspunsurile mult așteptate, dar Marina nu e hotărâtă să o publice. „Thrillerele financiare sunt rare. Cristina Alger reușește să ne poarte într-o călătorie incitantă în subteranele lumii bancare pervers de bogate.“ The Times „Te prinde, te satisface, te captivează – o carte a timpului nostru. Ce scrie aici probabil se întâmplă deja undeva.“ Lee Child

Soția bancherului - Editura Nemira

A Bonfire of the Vanities for our times, by an author who “knows her way around 21st-century wealth and power” (The Wall Street Journal). Since he married Merrill Darling, daughter of billionaire financier Carter Darling, attorney Paul Ross has grown accustomed to all the luxuries of Park Avenue. But a tragic event is about to catapult the Darling family into the middle of a massive financial investigation and a red-hot scandal. Suddenly, Paul must decide where his loyalties really lie. Debut novelist Cristina Alger is a former analyst at Goldman Sachs, an attorney, and the daughter of a Wall Street financier. Drawing on her unique insider's perspective, Alger gives us an irresistible glimpse into the highest echelons of New York society—and a fast-paced thriller of epic proportions that powerfully echoes Claire Messud's The Emperor's Children and reads like a fictional Too Big to Fail.
