About Karen Glick

Watch this page. A bio of Karen Glick is coming soon.

FEAR & GREED was selected by January Magazine as one of the Best New Crime novels of 2006!

"New York City is dominated by the world of finance, and Lawrence Light knows its testosterone-fueled machinations well. Once again, he brings its money-rules-all influence to bear in the second Karen Glick novel. Like its predecessor (Too Rich to Live, 2005), Fear & Greed is a fast-paced, riveting tour de force of money and politics."
-- Anthony, Rainone, January Magazine

From Publishers Weekly

"Light brings back intrepid reporter Karen Glick, feature writer for Profit magazine, for a second outing (following Too Rich to Live ) with largely satisfying results. The three Reiner sisters, Linda, Ginny and Flo, have created a computer program called Goldring that accurately predicts the stock market, and have used it to make themselves incredibly wealthy. But the digital goose that lays the golden eggs proves deadly: when Flo is murdered and the only copy of Goldring is stolen, Glick works alongside oldest sister Linda to track down the murderer and the missing program. It isn't long before their own lives are in danger, as they're pursued by several powerful and nefarious factions. Light is skillful setting the multiple and complicated plots spinning, and despite the body count he manages to keep the tone light and quick; however, the story—nicely tied up though it is—relies heavily on coincidence and overly talky characters, and much of the supporting cast feel stock. That said, Glick remains a strong, witty heroine; her latest adventure should please fans of Wall Street thrillers."

Praise for TOO RICH TO LIVE.

"Light draws us into a Wall Street world full of well-chosen and telling details that only someone who's had inside access would know. TOO RICH TO LIVE melds humor and suspense in this entertaining mystery that explores the heady worlds of some very rich men from the point of view of one feisty investigative journalist."
