Welcome to the tour for Squeeze Plays by Jeffrey Marshall. Read on for more details!

Squeeze Plays

Genre: Financial Thriller

Publication Date: June 2022

A modern tableau about money and power set in New York and London.

Two powerful men, a bank chief executive and a New York tabloid publisher, are at odds over a loan that would keep the publisher afloat. Enter a ruthless Russian oligarch with an offer of a financial life raft to the publisher – a gambit uncovered by a dogged financial reporter who senses a big story.

In Squeeze Plays, Jeffrey Marshall whisks us into the paneled boardrooms and lavish penthouses of the New York elite and shows us their lifestyle, their desires and their foibles. Using his background as a financial journalist, he carefully details the reporter’s story, which ties the central characters together in what becomes a stunning front-page expose. Along the way, the reader visits New York, London, Nantucket and the English countryside and sees not just financial skullduggery but sexual blackmail, strong and principled female characters, and a brisk and often satirical take on the corrupting influences of wealth and power.

Rating & Review

5 out of 5

Financial thrillers usually aren’t my thing, but Marshall has absolutely blown me away with this captivating, nuanced thriller. Marshall did an excellent job of bringing the characters and setting to life, I felt like I was watching a movie unfold in front of me as I read. I became more invested in the lives of the MCs than I thought possible. They certainly aren’t people I’d expect to ever run into in my everyday life, and although I found it hard to like some of them, I was absolutely wrapped up in their stories. Hats off to Marshall for being able to pull that off, it’s quite the feat. The way the dual plots wove together was an absolute masterpiece, and it feels like you’re just waiting for the collision to happen. I cannot recommend this enough if you enjoy thrillers, even if financial ones aren’t usually up your alley, because you won’t be disappointed!
