Suspicion by Joseph Finder

Danny Goodman is a single parent.  He is also a writer.  His only daughter Abby is attending a prestigious school for girls in the Boston area.  Falling on hard times financially, he agrees to borrow money from one of Abby's classmate's father and the intrigue begins.

Mr. Galvin recognizes Danny's dilemma and decides to offer him a $50,000 loan.  Reluctantly, Danny agrees to take the money but promises to pay it back.  As soon as the money is wired into his account, the DEA comes knocking at his door and Danny becomes embroiled in a cat and mouse game.

I've read several of Mr. Finder's previous novels including High Crimes and Power Play.  The author seems to have a knack for meaty, thrillers and this latest entry proves the point.
