Editorial Reviews

"...be sure to put "Shakedown"...on your "must buy" list. It's a book that cost me hours of sleep, as I just couldn't put it down...This page turner is not only timely because of the recent financial industry scandals and the depth of the exposed corruption -- a total surprise to most of us -- but appeals to a wide audience, as Ryan weaves a love story and murder into the financial scandal...It's a trifecta that is a winner...So well written that even a novice in financial matters will be able to understand -- not only understand -- but easily follow the heart stopping action...Don't miss this one!"

--Joyce Laabs, The Lakeland Times

"...To write her debut novel, Ryan applied her background working in financial services, expressing expert knowledge of computer science and a sharp ability to describe for the layman how Marcus Edison, co-president of Sledd Payne Corp., plans to acquire billions from an illegal trading scheme. As the villain, Edison is the crude, power-hungry, brutal opposite of the suave, right-side-of-the-tracks hero Tom Hollister, Sledd Payne's other co-President. Hollister acquires data collected by an employee who suspects that someone at Sledd Payne is involved in illegal trading. What follows is the classic villain-hero tug-of-war: Hollister tries to prove that Edison is engaging in criminal activity, and Edison tries to stop him by brutal means, providing the fast-paced action and surprises in this thriller..."

--Kirkus Discoveries

Author / Bookseller Blurbs

“The jacket copy doesn't begin to tell you how vividly drawn the characters are in this financial thriller. Ryan's descriptions of the violence (and the passion) revolving around the meltdown-from-within of a respected securities firm is filled with surprises on every page. It sets up a classic battle of wits with no holds barred between two executives battling for the presidency of a company hollowed out by one while the other tries to keep the company afloat. The author shows particular talent at writing sex (and love) scenes that are explicit without being over the top, and is equally skilled at putting violent action onto the written page."


---Randy Smith, Destinations Booksellers, New Albany, IN

“Andie Ryan has written that rare thing—a smart, sensitive, gorgeously-written thriller—the kind that, while snatching your breath away, also teaches you something about life. SHAKEDOWN does everything a novel should do, and very, very well.”

---Peter Selgin, Author of Life Goes to the Movies

“Andie Ryan has written a novel that is at once timely and a page-turner. What happens at Sledd Payne feels both real and like a parable. With complex characters and heart-breaking plot twists, SHAKEDOWN is a book you won’t be able to put down.”

---Masha Hamilton, Author of The Camel Bookmobile (Book Sense Pick)
