The Invisible Hand uses the thriller genre to explore human contradictions life and death, right and wrong, love and obligation, loss and dreams.
The Invisible Hand is a thriller with brains and heart, about the vast greed and lust for power driving financial globalization. It is about men whose ethical visions are seen through broken glass, and who travel along roads that beckon with false light, inevitably leading them to dark channels of violence and mindless destruction—the deadly fantasies of powerful old men’s dreams. It is about our time.
A frightenly current and realistic tale of intrigue and duplicity, The Invisible Hand is set in the world of international monetary speculation. It raises fundamental questions about whether or not it’s possible to make the world a better place for ordinary people. Are the opportunities for corruption so pervasive, the domination of technology so complete, the capacity for brutality so inherent, the speed of destructive forces so beyond comprehension and control, that efforts at significant progressive change are inevitably doomed? Has the nation state lost its ability to govern and meet the needs of its citizens?
Two men—Matt Webster and U.S. Senator Zeke Hascomb, both unable to let go of the past—clash on opposite sides of the race to control foreign exchange speculation before the world economy collapses.
Unlikely hero Matt Webster, an ex-baseball great and former phantom Wall Street trader known only as “RBI,” is pressed by the U.S. president into crafting a solution. Matt, having lost two life dreams, believes that he puts the people he loves in danger; which is exactly what he does when he answers the president’s call.
Zeke leads a cabal of ruthless men in foreign currency speculation to achieve dark goals. Also plagued by horrific losses—including a recent psychotic breakdown of his beloved daughter—he concludes that it will be easier to change the world than save his loved ones.
Matt’s team of crack analysts uncover the secrets of global financial speculation but come across signs of a money plot that will topple governments and shred markets. We follow Matt’s crew pulling apart and reassembling diverse pieces of information from around the financial world, much of them hidden, like today’s bundled derivatives. Zeke’s security uncovers Matt’s group and he hires a killer to silence them; suddenly, lives are in danger.
Two women ultimately determine the outcome. Matt’s colleague-lover, Peg Donahue, gradually coaxes him to yield his guilt and listen to his heart. Jenny, Zeke’s wife and the intellectual architect of his political career, becomes suspicious when she sees Zeke changing. She decides she has to do something to alter his course or all will be lost.
Death is the lynch pin between Zeke and Matt; one is in love with its power, the other cannot stop running toward it. Killer Frankie Cavallaro is not just a hired gun; he is Death personified. Frankie willingly becomes Zeke’s instrument but paradoxically struggles to establish sanity in Zeke’s relationship with death. Frankie ultimately loses his battle for order with both Zeke and Matt as they rush toward self-destruction. Death, futility, tragedy and betrayal stalk both men to the end.
The story brings us face-to-face with two ancient conundrums Man’s attraction to Death as an instrument, and his inability to find a way to decide at what point ends stop justifying means.

The Invisible Hand A financial thriller eBook Idrian N Resnick Reviews
Amazing depth of knowledge of the financial sector! The partnership of Idrian Resnick and his economic colleague Mike Tanzer have produced a spell-binding thriller rooted in the heart of global capitalism. It is extraordinarily contemporary given the on-going debates about the state of the European economy, austerity as a strategy for supporting the Euro and the nature of the still untamed global financial system. If Le Carre could create a deep sense of reality around the spy world that he had been associated with, Resnick is doing it in the financial world. Could this happen? stay tuned. We need another financial thriller from Resnick!
I found this novel wonderfully topical and rich with characters. Resnick drew me into the emotional lives of the characters while satisfying my intellectual interest in financial market manipulations, and all at a very good clip. I really recommend this book!
The Invisible Hand is an unusual, brilliantly done piece of writing. It captures both the drama of the crumbling financial world in which we all live and suffer, and weaves a tale about the deadly interaction between two men and the women who love them. Although obviously written before 2000, Resnick clearly saw the storm to come and exposes the roots of greed and the hunger for power, not only of individuals, but of institutions and corporations. Resnick's use of the character, Frankioe, as both a metaphorical Death and a hired killer works wonderfully. I also found the antagonist's wife, Jenny, was a scene stealer. All in all, a wonderful and seamless read. High tension. Easy to understand economics (imagine that!). And an intellectual challenge.
It is amazing how completely different Idrian Resnick's books/short stories are from one another, and I have enjoyed them all. This one, The Invisible Hand, is right in his wheelhouse dealing with economics, and is loaded with suspense. Even if you are not especially familiar with 'economics' you will find this book entirely interesting, suspenseful, fast moving, and entirely plausible. Enjoy!
Absolutely love this book! It’s wonderful. It’s so professionally done. I can’t believe how great it is. It’s exciting. It’s the best thriller I’ve ever read. A great book-fast-paced and compelling to the end. It picks up steam as it goes. At times, I was on the edge of my seat & my heart was pounding in my chest. I read it in 3 sessions and only my eye's closing through lack of sleep. Only exhaustion stopped me finishing!! It's also uncanny in its timeliness. Reading it while more banking fiascoes were airing on the news really affected my thoughts about how far those guys might be willing to go. The plot just keeps unfolding and building, revealing more and more. The characters moved the story along, and that's the best kind of story, to my mind. There's nothing contrived about either the story or the characters. There were times when I felt Mickey was patterned after my son. I really connected with The Invisible Hand.
You'll be on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. Thrilling!
A new kind of thriller indeed! A fascinating insight into the tergiversations of international finance, supported by a wonderful cast of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
This book is extremely well written and full of surprises. It keep me intrigued and wanting to read faster to find out what happens.
While I read to escape from my stressful life and job, this book made me think and say WOW, this could happen. I highly recommend this to anyone that love a good suspense. It is a real page turner
