Triple Cross by Mark T. Sullivan

January Staff Selection from Cecil

New Year's Eve finds half a dozen of the richest men in the world celebrating at the Jefferson Club, a spectacularly exclusive private club in the mountains of Montana.

Triple Cross is crisply written, breathlessly paced, suspenseful, and simultaneously fanciful yet nearly plausible.

January Staff Selection from Pat
