"The jacket copy doesn't begin to tell you how vividly drawn the characters are...Ryan's descriptions of the violence (and the passion) revolving around the meltdown-from-within of a respected securities firm is filled with surprises on every page..."

"Andie Ryan has written that rare thing—a smart, sensitive, gorgeously-written thriller—the kind that, while snatching your breath away, also teaches you something about life. SHAKEDOWN does everything a novel should do, and very, very well."

-- Peter Selgin, Author of Life Goes to the Movies


"...a novel that is at once timely and a page-turner. What happens at Sledd Payne feels both real and like a parable. With complex characters and heartbreaking plot twists, SHAKEDOWN is a book you won't be able to put down." 

-- Masha Hamilton, Author of The Camel Bookmobile (Book Sense pick)


"...[a} classic villain-hero tug-of-war...fast-paced action and surprises..."
