The Millionaires - Brad Meltzer

Finished at last - and whether it was the fact it took me too long to read, I don't know, but I felt the end was not an end I would expect.  It was suspense all the way through, but just kinda dropped off at the end.  I guess I should re read the last ten pages in case I missed something.





The Story:  Two brothers, one an executive at a bank and the other in an entry-level position, hatch a plot to steal three million dollars. Using a sophisticated computer program, they plan to transfer the money into an account only they can access. But after the transaction has been completed, they quickly realize that rather than three million dollars, they stole three hundred million. The secret service are called in to investigate and Charlie and Oliver soon find themselves on the run not only from the law, but from the people they stole the money from. Using technology to alter their identity and conceal their personal records, the people hunting them down use the same technology to track their whereabouts. It's a high-speed game of cat and mouse, filled with twists and turns that are sure to have readers racing to the last page.

It is an author I would try again - but for now with so many books on the "to be read" pile, I will only read again if I happen to find another book by this author in a charity shop.
