Silver Justice

Manhattan. FBI Special Agent Silver Cassidy, the head of a task force that's on a collision course with disaster, finds herself fighting impossible odds to stop a serial killer before he can kill again. Struggling to balance the hunt for a savage predator with the challenges of being a single mom, Silver finds herself thrust into a nightmare of brutality that will demand every ounce of determination she possesses to survive. ----- Q&A with Russell Blake Q: Silver Justice is a departure from your usual action/adventure thrillers. Why a police procedural/serial killer epic featuring a female protagonist? Russell: I got the idea for a strong female protag who was a take no prisoners Fed when I was thinking about a sequel to Fatal Exchange. I sort of thought, wouldn't it be interesting to write a Silence of the Lambs kind of main character, a la Agent Starling, but make her more experienced, & have her dealing with a host of complications from her personal life even as she's involved in the most important case of her career? I wanted her to be really richly drawn, & complex, & struggling with issues that are catastrophic, so the pressure just keeps mounting until you're wondering what more can happen without her head exploding. And I wanted her to be very smart, & capable, but also address the issues of a female swimming upstream in a male-dominated career. I like the way Silver turned out. She became very real for me as I wrote the book, & I can envision her carrying a whole series. She's definitely got the depth to do it. Q: The book explores the causes of the 2008 financial crisis & posits a frighteningly plausible conspiracy. Russell: I've always been uncomfortable with the official explanations for how the entire market for mortgage backed securities could collapse overnight, triggering a run on the stock market & a tunneling of some of the biggest names in American finance, & plunging the world into crisis. As I began researching the root causes, I quickly arrived at a number of extremely disturbing conclusions
