Publication Information
New York Times 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, Afraid of the Dark and Money to Burn - as well as Grippando classics like A King's Ransom and Beyond Suspicion - the provocative Need You Now 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.

"Starred Review. Rousing... An exciting tale of revenge." - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. Superb plotting, high suspense, compelling timely issues, and finely honed characters make this crime novel/international thriller a great read." - Library Journal
"Filled with twists and turns and edge-of-the-seat tension." - Romantic Times
