<i>New York Times </i>bestseller James Grippando returns with a gripping new stand-alone novel: a story ripped from the headlines, in which a young financial adviser and his girlfriend uncover a conspiracy that reaches from Wall Street to Washington, from the trading floors of the Stock Exchange to the deepest halls of government. Like Grippando?s recent bestsellers, <i>Afraid of the Dark </i>and <i>Money to Burn</i>?as well as Grippando classics like <i>A King?s Ransom </i>and <i>Beyond Suspicion</i>?the provocative <i>Need You Now</i> is a fast-paced thriller in which danger and conspiracy lie behind every plot and promise, and the future of the nation lies in the hands of an unlikely champion.<br><br>?Grippando grips from the first page.? ?Harlan Coben<br>
