Bo’s family is always compared to the Kennedy clan. The Hancock family shares the same level of wealth, charisma, and political connections. There are five children in the family, and their father, similar to Joe Sr., holds a taut reign on Paul, Tommy, Catherine, Bo, and Ashley even as he treats his two youngest as changelings.
Paul Hancock has been groomed for a political career, and now he is running for president and with his dad’s backing, will easily win. And Bo, who is making the family money – the man who is making it all possible – is increasingly becoming a liability. He is a money-maker, but also the black sheep of his billionaire family. He likes to party and he is often seen publicly in with the wrong people. When news of Bo’s drinking and philandering reaches the ear of his father, he is exiled to Montana.
Then, when his father becomes ill, he begs Bo to return home and retake control of Warfield Capital even though his siblings prefer he remain in Big Sky country. Bo fights for his position, but soon learns his opponent is an invisible cabal of powerful people who are running the country from behind the scenes. And as members of his family starts to die, it becomes clear that that the battle for the family fortune is a battle for life or death.
Trust Fund is a great Stephen W. Frey thriller. The plot is good enough, the story is a very fast-paced, and overall it is an exciting financial thriller – one of Frey’s best. It’s a book that grabs you early – which usually is a good sign for thrillers. I mostly felt that I could relate to Bo Hancock and I enjoyed reading the book. There is perhaps a little too much conspiracy here, but even so it is a very good financial thriller that I recommend.
