THE PROTEGE
Book ID/图书代码： 01240005B06047
English Summary/英文概要： The Protégé is bestselling author Stephen Frey at the top of his game: a blue-chip thriller from the high-tension master of high-finance suspense. To reach the peak of his profession and remain the powerful chairman of Everest Capital, New York’s most successful private equity firm, Christian Gillette has paid his dues. Those seeking to do business with Gillette come to him—not the other way around. But for the mysterious man who claims to represent “certain interests in Washington, D.C.,” he’s willing to make an exception. Because this cryptic emissary has information about the mother he never knew and the truth about his father’s suspect death. All Gillette has to do to access the secrets of his past is play ball with a shadowy government agency that’s sitting on the key to the future—a new technology that could be humanity’s greatest tool . . . or its deadliest weapon of terror. Complicating matters are David Wright, Gillette’s aggressive young protégé, who’s hiding a horrifying secret, and Allison Wallace, the feisty scion of a mega-rich investing family, who’s bought her way into Everest and has a taste for control and an eye on more than the bottom line. Being the target of more cutthroat corporate subterfuge—or a pawn in cloak-and-dagger national security games—is the last thing Gillette needs. But laying his private demons to rest is the one thing he most wants. And that’s a reward for which he’s willing to take any risk. Frey’s books appeared on the extended New York Times HC Fiction List and several of his books were on NYT Business Bestseller list.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 暢銷小說家史蒂芬•弗雷此次描寫的是一場發生在高級金融領域的懸疑小說。這是一場情節緊張的藍色驚悚故事。克利斯蒂安•基爾特為了達到事業的高峰，保住自己在紐約最成功的私募股權公司，珠峰資本一把手的位置，他付出了代價。此時有一個自稱代表華盛頓利益的神秘男子來找基爾特，他可不是來找基爾特做生意的。這個神秘的使者竟然有基爾特母親的消息，基爾特自己還沒見過自己的母親。他還知道基爾特父親離奇死亡的原因。如果要得知有關父母的秘密，基爾特就要和一個秘密的政府機構捉迷藏。這個政府機構手握決定人類將來的重要技術。這種技術即可以成為人類最偉大的工具以完善人類生活，也可以成為恐怖分子的毀滅性武器。
基爾特還有其他頭疼的事情。基爾特年輕的門生大衛•奈特自恃聰明，還隱瞞著一個驚天秘密。富有的大股東家後代阿利森•華萊士囂張強勢，她花錢買了一個珠峰資產的職位。此人控制欲極強，喜歡多管閒事。基爾特最討厭的就是成為公司勾心鬥角的目標，或是成為國家安全陰謀的小棋子。他為了讓自己的好奇心和私欲得到滿足和安定，還是不惜冒各種危險。(Celia)
