Leslie Waller

An exciting crime novel by Leslie Waller in which banker Frank Woods once again confronts the dangerous tentacles of organized crime threatening his family and professional life.

The crime novel The Family (a sequel to American author Leslie Waller’s famous bestseller The Banker) is a tense, multi-layered thriller that delves deep into the secret mechanisms where high finance and organized crime intersect. The protagonist, Frank Woods—a capable and ambitious Chicago banker—strives to lead an honest, stable life within elite business circles. However, his fate is inextricably linked to a powerful Mafia family through his wife, whose father is a leading figure in the underworld. Although Woods desperately attempts to maintain his independence and integrity, the brutal reality of his situation forces him to walk a dangerous line on the edge of the law. The Mafia’s influence permeates every stratum of society—from corrupt politicians and multinational corporations to street-level violence. Drawing on his exceptional knowledge of both the banking system and the criminal underworld, Waller crafts a highly dynamic and compelling story filled with unexpected twists, blackmail, and political intrigue. The novel offers not only top-tier entertainment and suspense but also a cynical portrayal of modern capitalism, in which the boundaries between legitimate business and criminal cartels are all but erased.
