The Capitalist

Con. The first novel I’ve read by Peter Steiner featuring former CIA operative Louis Morgon is the fifth in that series and is titled, The Capitalist. Morgon’s adversary in this novel is St. John Larrimer, a money manager who defrauded customers and fled with billions of dollars. Morgon lost money to Larrimer, but that didn’t set him on a path to con the con artist to bring him to justice. Morgon’s lover, Pauline, is distraught because her brother Jean-Baptiste was a victim of the scam. This novel is mostly crime thriller, but also an exploration of remorse and redemption, and ultimately satisfaction. Readers who like slow pacing in crime novels will enjoy this book.
