City of Cards
by
Joel Sacks
Three M.I.T. students are brought together to work on an economics project; under such innocuous conditions, they never could have predicted how, over the next decade and half, their lives would be intertwined as they are drawn into an international plot to sabotage the economic power of America and other western countries. Utilizing unconventional weaponry, international conflicts are waged on multiple fronts in such a stealthy manner that the victims may never realize they have been attacked. City of Cards is a compelling tale of intrigue and espionage, warning us that a lack of imagination—combined with underestimation of an enemy’s capacity to exploit vulnerabilities—can be the greatest threat to a nation’s security and wellbeing.
"City of Cards, Joel Sacks's modern, tech-flavored thriller is fast paced and detailed, incorporating realistic elements that make the threat at its core seem even more realistic." - Foreword Clarion Review
After earning a graduate degree in music composition from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, Joel Sacks set out on a divergent career path as the chief information officer, chief financial officer, and later the chief operating officer for a mid-Atlantic insurance company. He has a marked aptitude for recalling trivia as evidenced by his appearance on the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions, though he would be the first to admit that the usefulness of most of this information is at best, questionable. Mr. Sacks lives in Baltimore with his wife, Ann, and their two dogs, a goldendoodle named Neuman, and Mr. Wuggles, a long-haired dachshund. City of Cards is his first published novel.
