An FBI agent, disgraced and dead. A Muslim economist, deported from the US and tortured. The world's largest hedge fund, secreted off-shore.
From New York to China, Marseilles to Washington DC, private investigator Graham Gage races to expose a conspiracy to set off a worldwide economic collapse, his heart burdened and his work complicated by a worker uprising in western China in which his wife is caught up.
Key players include a Federal Reserve Chairman who helps Gage sort out all the connections; an indecisive US President under the influence of a politically powerful, but increasingly delusional evangelical minister; ruthless and double-dealing Chinese business leaders; and by a Chinese general gripping the largest army in the world with one hand and the life of Gage's wife in the other.
Underlying each plot turn: the vulnerability of the US economy, the use of market manipulation and insider trading, and US corporate complicity in foreign corruption.
