Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Greg Iles, and Linda Fairsteinâthis action-packed legal thriller debut races from the gleaming canyons of New York City to the hurricane-lashed waters of the Caribbean. Michael Rudolphâs Noble Chase combines a smart, determined heroine and a storm of stunning surprises in a pulse-pounding morality tale of international intrigue that delivers suspense right up to the shocking end.
Â
Sic transit gloria. Beth Swahn, a young lawyer, makes a rookie mistake: She believes her client. While basking in the glory of winning a hundred-million-dollar judgment for a U.S. division of C. K. Leungâs Chinese conglomerate, Beth realizes that because of her naïveté, Leonard Sloane, president of the division, has absconded to the Caribbean with his banker girlfriend and seventy million dollars of the judgment money. Shortly thereafter, they are both presumed dead when a Mayday call to the Coast Guard reports the sinking of their yacht.
Â
Stunned, furious, and determined to retrieve Leungâs money and save her firm from bankruptcy, Beth investigates her way through a maze of money laundering and white-collar corruption. When the trail leads her to Sloaneâs handsome son, she is torn between her attraction for him and her fear that he may be involved in the theft. Beth is not alone in her search for the money. C. K. Leung is also involved, because he doubts Bethâs innocence. When her investigation moves to a critical level and a missing encrypted file comes to light that has the power to ignite a geopolitical firestorm, Leung becomes convinced that Beth is a party to Sloaneâs scheme, and her life becomes violently threatened.

âNot only is Rudolphâs novel a decidedly entertaining legal thriller, but thereâs also an exciting chase on the high seas.

âA fast-moving legal thriller thatâs resolved on the high seas instead of in a courtroom. . . . A dandy debut novel featuring lawyers with both integrity and nautical skills.ââKirkus Reviews (starred review)
âInternational money laundering, corruption, violence, and a horrific tropical storm all combine to make this a breathless race to the finish lineâand the cash. The John Grisham and Scott Turow crowd will be satisfied.ââBooklist
