The Millionaires
What would you steal if you couldn't get caught? That's the tag line of  Brad Meltzer's new thriller, which pits an ambitious young money manager against  a corporate villain, whose intricate financial shenanigans accidentally put a  huge chunk of dough right in front of a man who desperately needs it. Of course  Oliver Caruso's conscience troubles him, but that doesn't keep him from letting  his somewhat looser and less ethical brother convince him this is too good an  opportunity to pass up. Meltzer's in interesting territory here, but in order to  buy his premise, you have to believe that it's OK to steal if you have a good  enough reason. This makes his protagonist, who narrates the novel, hard to root  for and less than sympathetic. Despite this hollow ring, the book is nicely  plotted and should please the author's enthusiastic fan club.--Jane  Adams
