The Fund

Wes DeMott's international bestseller, The Fund, is a thrilling read that's been a favorite among readers for years, but the reason it will always sell well is its finely crafted ending. DeMott has famously said, "I'll tell you right now that you won't guess who the bad guy is in this story, but when you get to the end you'll think back through the novel and want to hit your head because every clue pointed directly to them."

That's almost impossible to pull off, but DeMott did it so well in The Fund that Publisher Weekly said: Near the novel's end, the story shifts gears with unexpected plot twists and a major, clever character shift, opening up many intriguing and fresh new perspectives...ending with a flourish as a stylized, turn-on-a-dime crime story where the lines between love, murder and espionage are deftly blurred.

The Fund: While trying to save his contract for a tactical weapons system, aerospace engineer Peter Jamison uncovers a crime of corruption, power and violence that draws him into a deadly game he cannot win but still chooses to fight - any way he can and at whatever cost. This thriller was an international best-seller and IPPY Gold Medal Award Recipient for Best Thriller/Mystery. It has been translated into several languages and became very popular in Eastern Europe.

How deep does the government conspiracy go? Who's in charge and how many more will die? Aerospace engineer Peter Jamison is determined to find out.
