Description
A tabloid publisher on the brink of bankruptcy. An offer he can’t refuse. A web of corruption that stretches into the upper echelons of power.
With his publishing business on thin ice, Winston Crumm is ready to cut a deal. Too bad he’s on rocky ground with the one man who can save his company: the powerful – and equally arrogant – bank chief executive, Corbin van Sloot. With the two businessmen at odds over a loan that will keep the publisher afloat, Winston is living on borrowed time.
So, when a ruthless Russian oligarch enters the game with a financial life raft, it sets off a chain of events that rock the upper echelons of global power. After enterprising journalist Bob Mandell catches wind of the story, he’s quickly catapulted on a trail that will offer him the scoop of his career.
From the skylines of New York and London to the English countryside and Nantucket, Bob finds himself caught up in a shadowy world of corruption, financial skullduggery and sexual blackmail. Exposing their web of deceit and underhanded moves could bring their whole operation crashing down, and while Bob is no stranger to making powerful enemies…this time, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Step into an international financial thriller that whisks you away to the paneled boardrooms and lavish penthouses of the New York elite. Using his background as a financial journalist, author Jeffrey Marshall offers a brilliant exposé of the lifestyle, desires and foibles of the rich and powerful.
