In James The Accountant by Tyson Freeburg, Jimmy plans to celebrate with his wife, Tiffany, after closing the largest deal in his firm’s history. In a twist of events, their date is cut short when two gangsters kidnap them. The gangsters identify Jimmy as James the accountant, claiming their boss wants to have a word with him, but Jimmy insists he is not the accountant they are looking for. Unfortunately, they do not believe him, and it seems they will make “James” talk one way or another.

Jimmy’s sixth sense tells him he and his wife will not come out of this predicament alive. Why are Jimmy and Tiffany kidnapped? What do the gangsters want with James the accountant? Can Jimmy talk his way out of this? James The Accountant knows how to generate tension. Like Jimmy and Tiffany, the reader has no idea who those gangsters are and what they want. What can they possibly get from two hapless civilians? The book then reveals the gangsters' plot, the kind of people they work with, and the lows they stoop to, adding to the sense of urgency.

In addition, the book enriches its suspenseful plot with compelling characters. Jimmy's intuition, Tiffany's fiery personality, and Wayne's conscience shine as bright as the stars of the night sky. These traits translate into decisions with considerable bearing on the plot and their ultimate fates.
