    About this audiobook

    A job he shouldn't have taken... A woman he shouldn't have loved... A secret he shouldn't expose...if he wants to live.

    Nick Neumann had it all: a Harvard degree, a beautiful fiancée, a star-making Wall Street career.  But behind the dazzling veneer of this golden boy is a man haunted by the brutal killing of his father seventeen years before.

    Now chilling new evidence has implicated his father's employer, the United Swiss Bank, in the crime.  Nick doesn't know how.  Or why.  But he has a plan to find out: move to Zurich.  Work for the same bank.  Follow in his father's footsteps.  Look for the same secrets...and uncover something so shocking, so unexpected, justice may not be enough.

    For as a circle of treachery tightens around him, as a woman with secrets of her own enters his life, Nick makes another chilling discovery.  Not just about his father but about himself.  And how far he's willing to go to find out what happened seventeen years before—when a man died and a conspiracy was born.

    • 4/5
      Fascinating tale woven around banking and a terrorist plot spanning several years
    • 5/5
      You will love it! Great master piece by Christophe Reich
    • 3/5
      Ever read a book where you found your self speaking out loud to the protagonist--"No don't do that!" Or,"Just turn around a look behind you"? This is one of those books.An intriguing insight into the workings of notoriously-secretive Swiss banks and a story of a son trying to learn about his father's death.

      This novel has been around for awhile and a friend gave it to me to read and I'm glad he did. Mr. Reich has done a great job of plotting this novel with a strong emphasis on the military and the Swiss Bank. Don't let the banking theme turn you off, because this story is more than the boring debits and credits on a financial statement and Mr. Reich ensures that the reader becomes intrigued with the Swiss banking system. The reader will find in the story Nicholas Neumann, a 28-year-old Harvard MBA graduate accepting a position with a Swiss bank for the sole purpose of trying to find out who murdered his father 17 years earlier. Mr. Reich delivers a tightly controlled plot and pace, and the story comes together with no loose ends. Overall, I found Numbered Account a terrific novel and I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading another Christopher Reich novel. I would also like to add that Mr. Reich held his own with the likes of Clancy, Patterson and other well-known authors.

      Harvard Business graduate and ex-marine Nick Neumann gives up a Wall Street career to solve his father’s 17-year-old murder and gets mixed up in the international arms and drug trade.My complaints are pretty much the same as the other Reich novel I read: flat characters, rather predictable story line, underwhelming love story. It certainly kept my attention, and it didn’t annoy me since I knew what I was getting into, and would read another when I needed a light, predictable action book.

    • 4/5
      Although I enjoyed "Numbered Account" by Christopher Reich I found that this book did not have the grip of a good thriller. The suspense was mild and anti-climactic in a lot of areas. The writing seemed to be more matter-of-fact instead of dramatic.
    • 4/5
      Impressive debut novel from Reich. I was turned onto Reich after reading his short story about Nick Neumann in "Thriller" - and Neumann is the main protagonist in Numbered Account. Swiss banking, corporate espionage, political intrigue, international terrorism all wrapped up in one entertaining book.
