The Directive

Trust. Matthew Quirk reprises protagonist Mike Ford from his debut novel, The 500, and keeps the thrilling action moving at a rapid pace in a novel titled, The Directive. The title refers to the policy decision from the Federal Reserve that is sent to the New York Fed to implement in the capital markets. The bad guys want to intercept the directive to trade on it ahead of the market. The novel develops the complexity of the character of Mike Ford as he struggles to decide who can be trusted, and as he chooses to cross some lines that will have significant consequences for his future. Readers who like action thrillers will find a lot to enjoy in this book. I read it quickly and was thoroughly entertained.
