The Contract
‘Age-old secrets are popular grist for thriller-writing mill at present, and a decade-old mystery is the crucial jigsaw piece in this debut work by Australian author Hoffmann. Setting his thriller in high-flying Wall Street, Hoffmann has two Australians as his key characters. They are Jack and Stella, successful business people working for different divisions of an investment bank. They are thrown together in a desperate fight for their lives and the truth when Stella unwittingly uncovers a devastating secret.’
