Synopsis
Jeffrey Blaine is a good man, a wealthy and powerful Wall Street broker with impeccable social standing. But his wife—who supports charitable foundations from their Park Avenue townhouse—seems to have lost interest in their marriage, and his daughter, a beautiful debutante ready for Yale University in the fall, has turned sullen and rebellious. Having achieved everything he'd ever dreamed of, Blaine now feels unsettled, stagnant, hungry for a new challenge—a challenge that presents itself suddenly in the person of Chet Fiore, an ambitious entrepreneur rumored to be tied to organized crime. When Blaine rebukes Fiore's offer to participate in an illegal business proposition, he discovers that the mafia lieutenant has laid an elaborate trap to ensure Blaine's cooperation: the abduction of his beloved daughter. To ensure her safe return, Blaine is forced now to become a partner in a money laundering scheme of immense proportions..

Do I Have That Book? - Tag

Hi everybody!

I've been pretty busy, so I haven't been reading that much, and I was sick as well.
Next Thursday I will be going on a trip for 5 days to Mallorca! 
So there won't be any reviews this upcoming week.

I thought it would be nice to do this booktag so at least it won't be silent on my blog for too long! This is the Do I Have That Book? - Tag where I can dive onto my bookshelves and find books that fit this tag.

I hope to post a lot of reviews when I get back from my trip.

Thanks for reading. 📕
