Fault Line – Barry Eisler

Alex Treven, hotshot patent lawyer at a prestigious Silicon Valley law firm suddenly finds his world falling apart. Could it have anything to do with the patent he’s working on for Obsidian? Desperate, Alex turns to his estranged brother Ben a soldier who ‘kills for America’.

Ben and Alex haven’t spoken in years but Alex is family so Ben grudgingly offers his help. In between keeping Alex and his associate Sarah from getting themselves killed. Ben has to work through the issues that blew his family apart in the first place. His loyalty to his country is about to be severely tested and he’s finding himself increasingly attracted to Sarah whom Alex has had his eye on for some time.

Eisler gives us an America that talks loudly and carries a big stick. This is a fast paced tech heavy thriller liberally dosed with issues of morality and family loyalty.
