After Her Mario Almonte

Every man meets a woman who will scar him for life. For Wall Street golden boy Cain Kahn, that woman was the beautiful Kerry Daniels. After falling madly in love with her, he comes home one night to find his computer hacked, all his money stolen, and Kerry gone without a trace. The boldness of her crime and talent for eluding capture by the police make her one of the world's most celebrated fugitives and a media darling. Everyone believes Cain got what he deserved after shamelessly cheating on her with her boss. Frustrated by the police's failure to bring her to justice, Cain finally turns to a higher authority - public relations. Renowned PR guru Giancarlo Galilei launches a brilliant campaign to turn public sentiment against Kerry and force her into the open. Meanwhile, Cain's therapist and former stripper, Bambi Blue, proves to have uncanny investigative skills. She volunteers to help Cain track Kerry down and, in doing so, uncovers a disturbing secret in Kerry's past that points to her behavior being something more sinister than the brazen actions of a gold digger. After Her is a witty, vibrant novel whose story unfolds during the chaotic days of the bursting "dot.com bubble" on Wall Street. Its dizzying plot twists and rapid-fire dialogue offer a cynical and bitingly honest view of the world of finance and the eternal battle of the sexes. It is also a thrilling adventure ride that takes readers from the shores of Bermuda to the sultan's palace of Turkey. Along the way, it introduces us to remarkable characters whose unique take on life and culture proves engaging, funny and, maybe, all too true.
