Who can Maggie trust when everyone has betrayed her?
Maggie Fender's law degree remains a daydream as she supports her ex-felon half-brother and their incoherent father. Suffering from Alzheimer's, Dad's rarely lucid, but when he's accused of murder, only the gorgeous Russian neighbor flickers Maggie's hope.
In the news, disgraced hedge fund manager Patty O'Mara awaits trial for bilking investors out of forty billion dollars. The legendary dark pool wizard offered phenomenal profits. But the SEC discovered O'Mara never made a single legitimate investment. His fund was a total scam.
Maggie's Dad barely functions, but her hacker brother swears Dad is sending them vital messages about O'Mara's pot of gold. A private investigator hunts for the money and aims to find it before a notorious Russian mobster. When their efforts focus on Maggie's father, her remaining hope turns to rampant fear.
She's the only adult left in her family, and her weary camel won't carry a single extra straw. Her teenage brother's hacking skills landed his ass in prison, but he swears he was framed. No fans of the Fender family, the local police assume Dad ran away when he goes missing. Maggie will never find her father without help.
But who can Maggie trust when everyone has betrayed her?
Dark Pool Helen Hanson Books
In my humble opinion this is a Amateur Sleuths meets Crime Fiction with a side of Techno-Thriller for good measure.Travis Fender was convicted of illegally hacking into a company. Later, it is discovered the company was involved with a man accused of taking lots of money from investors in a pyramid-type scheme. After Travis is released from prison, a series of events forces the Fender family into defending their honor. Tough to do when there is a father with Alzheimer's Disease, a 15 year old 'felon', and young woman barely making ends meet while being a guardian to the men in her life instead of pursuing a law degree. Will the family be put in the slammer or will they figure out who has been sullying their name?
There is so much going on, yet Ms. Hanson, shares family drama, technology, plus the ins and outs for the search for the investors' money in a way that kept me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next.

Dark Pool Helen Hanson Books Reviews
I really wanted to like this book, but it was so slow and boring that, the only reason I finished it was because I paid for it. Why are Hanson's characters so morose? They remind me of Kevin Costner's movies rare smiles but like life is a drudgery. Anyway, it had its good points, but they were just few. Sorry.
First, this is actually a 3.5 rating.
About the book
The story opens with Maggie fetching her fifteen year old brother from prison, a brother she never believed was innocent of the hacking charge laid against him. Her father is falling into severe Alzheimer's, her stepmother whom she loved died, and her own mother is off into the wind, leaving young Maggie with the world on her shoulders. Then, when Maggie and Pete get home, they realize their father left the house after the neighbor's last welfare check on him. Frantic, they search for their father, Martin, only to come across a dead body on the beach. Worried, they make their way home only to find the neighbors surrounding their bushes where they finally discover their father. He is disoriented - and holding the bloody murder weapon!
While Maggie is dealing with her brother and father, a large group of investors out for blood are meeting across town with Kurt Meyers, the man hired to find their lost money. The man responsible for the scheme that stole these investors' savings, Patty O'Mara, is under house arrest but he isn't saying anything about the money. But these investors aren't the only ones interested in answers. The head of the local Russian mob is looking for his investments as well and makes threats against Kurt, demanding Kurt keep him informed under threat of his life.
When a new man, another Russian, moves in across the street and shows interest in Maggie, she thinks her luck is finally turning. Until, that is, she discovers the Russian mob is interested in her family. Who can she trust? Her brother she never believed? Her father who almost never has a lucid moment? The honey of a man who might be with the mob? Or the man trying to locate the stolen money?
MY TAKE
I enjoyed this book very much. The story started a little slow, even though there is plenty of action in the beginning. Still, the writing is good and the story winds together into a tight package well worth reading. Slowly the pieces slip together. Sometimes I thought I knew exactly how the story would turn out only to find another piece not fitting in my theory. But later, the piece fit right into the puzzle perfectly.
This is not a who done it, since we know from the beginning who killed the man on the beach. It is a where is it, as in where did the money go since the investors don't know and the man who took it acts as if he doesn't know.
I liked the way Hanson plays with the lost money, teasing us with theories and leads. Even toward the end of the story, I couldn't believe where the trail was leading. The twist is quite nice.
This is one of those books that gets better and better, in the read, as you go along. Though off to a slow start, with somewhat clipped or fragmented prose, 'Dark Pool' is a very well-plotted, intricate techno-crime thriller that ultimately satisfies. The nice long length of the book makes it an ideal coast-to-coast airplane read. The story is exciting yet human, grounded in characters that feel real, and are well-drawn, and has anecdotal historical info about the setting that adds to the story. This isn't a slick book, so if you're looking for that kind of no-thinking required shallow page-turner--this isn't it. If you are looking for a long, interesting read, with both strong female and male characters, action, mystery, intrigue, and an unpredictable plot that engages, then this is the book for you. A caveat I don't read these kinds of books. I really, really liked it, and found the story quite addictive (it just gets better and better) though I'm not a fan of the genre. Happy reading~*
After reading the first trilogy by Helen Hanson, I expected to enjoy this novel, however, I could not put it down!
I was riveted by our hero and heroine, their love for one another without reservation, even though the hero committed a felony.
More so, the way Ms. Hanson wove a disease that millions of people suffer from daily, into the reality of her story. The love these young people have for their parent has no boundaries, and bring them closer.
Intrigue from the beginning, till the final line!
I would have to say, while I loved the first trilogy, this novel, moved me far more!
A total pleasure to read from beginning to end!
Thrilled that I bought this novel, what an amazing read!
The Fenders are having a hard time, a really really hard time. And as usually happens one person in the family becomes the life boat for every one else. Maggie Fender is the life boat and she is bailing as fast as she can but still losing to life's water threatening to swamp her family. Her dad has Alzheimers', her fifteen year old brother is just paroled after a felony hacking charge, and oh yeah, she just lost her job.Add in a Russian mobster, a Ponzi scheme gone all kinds of upside down, a dead man, her dad accused of killing said dead man and her little brother's continued insistence that he was framed. It's a hell of a mess.
I enjoyed this mystery/thriller very much.Occasionally it bogged down a bit in high tech details, but overall it held my interest. And there is a fair amount of humor as Maggie struggles to maintain her sanity .
I'll look for this author again.
