I just finished 'The Number' by Alex Berenson. It's all about the financial crash before the last one. We might have seen the last one coming if we read this book. Since writing 'The Number' Berenson has written novels, which is how I learned of him. I like the novels too. Currently I'm reading his 'The Faithful Spy'. It would be easy to say his main character could hold his own with Crais' Joe Pike. And not for the reasons you may guess-check it out.
