Can I interest you in saving America?That’s the text message Peter Fallon receives from a Wall Street bigwig. It’s not a challenge he can turn down, especially since the country is in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Hidden somewhere in New York City is a box of 1780 bonds with a face value of ten thousand dollars. The Supreme Court is about to decide if these bonds still have value. If the decision is yes, those ten thousand dollars, at five percent interest, will be worth a very pretty penny...Peter Fallon and his girlfriend, Evangeline Carrington, must find the box—and fast. Suddenly, their race against time becomes a race through time as Peter and Evangeline track the stories of New Yorkers whose lives have been changed by the bonds… and all the while they’ll unravel the thrilling and inspiring origins of the City of Dreams.

No thanks! 1)I do not like ANY of the characters.2)You need to be very familiar with NYC, past and present. I've never been there.3)This author is a little too crass and crude for me. (Exhibit A = Gil and Loretta) I'm not bothered by sex talk, but when you make it gross I'd rather not read it.
