Flash Crash
by Denison Hatch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
a rogue quantitative programmer intentionally crashes the gold index, it seems
that Wall Street's worst nightmare has come true. In truth, the crisis has just
begun.
Across
town, an armored truck filled with $120M of gold bullion is hijacked by an ingeniously
crafted electromagnetic crane and seemingly driven into thin air.
Programmer
David Belov discovers that his virtual "Flash Crash" was simply a
required stepping stone towards the largest physical gold robbery in history,
and that's he's been framed for the resulting chaos, the lives of his beloved
wife and son on the balance...
With
brooding, hardboiled detective Jake Rivett and the NYPD's finest operators from
the Major Crimes Division actively seeking to locate and arrest David, and
other, darker elements nipping at his heels, David is forced to confront his
own past in order to have a future.

EXCERPT
THREE:
Suddenly
there was a faint whooping noise in the distance.
“Did
you hear that?” David asked.
“No.
Do you hear me?”
David
pulled Marina in for an embrace. “You have to trust me. I know what I’m doing .
. .”
“He’s
a scorpion.”
“What?”
David asked as he scanned the horizon, searching for the source of the mystery
vibration.
“Your
mom’s favorite story. I’m sure you remember. A frog needs to get across a
river, and there’s a scorpion sitting there at the riverbank. The scorpion
helpfully offers to carry the frog on his back. So the frog says to him, ‘Well
you’re a scorpion. Why should I trust you? How do I know you won’t just sting
me?’ And the scorpion answers, ‘Because you have my word. I promise that I
won’t bite you.’ So the frog takes the ride. And just as the two of them are
about to reach the safety of the other shore, the scorpion suddenly stings the
frog. As poison runs through his body and he lays there dying, the frog asks
the scorpion one final question: ‘Why’d you do it?’ And the scorpion says,
‘Because I’m a scorpion.’ Vlad’s stung you before. And he’ll sting you again.”
