Not everyone enjoys being at work eight hours a day, locked into something that allows very little creativity or flexibility.  And Switzerland investment banker Christoper Reich was one of those people, walking away from a high level banking position ten years ago to become one of the the top thriller authors of today. His new book, "Rules of Deception" is now in the 3rd position of the New York Times best seller list and climbing.

Not only a best selling book, Reich has had  Paramount  contact him for purchasing the book's movie rights, with  Brad Pitt talking of playing the leading role. Taking two years to write his first book, "Numbered Account" --when the author first began writing he said he owed it all to writer James Patterson. Apparently this notable author liked it so well he had his own agent take Christoper Reich on as a client. Of course, the rest is history.
