No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
While still a high-finance guru at heart, Christian Gillette gradually has been turning his focus away from Everest Capital, his big-bucks private equity firm, in favor of politics. In his last adventure (The Power Broker, 2006), he contemplated running for vice-president, and here he is ensnared in political intrigue once again when his almost running mate, Jesse Wood (now the first African American president of the U.S.) enlists his help. Rumors of Castro's death may result in Cuba becoming the next addition to the global market, and Wood needs Gillette to lead the effort to secure America's part in that new prosperity. Meanwhile, back at Everest, Gillette's second banana, the beguiling, wealthy heiress (and top-notch rainmaker) Allison Wallace, is running the firm. Being separated from one another leaves both Wood and Wallace feeling vulnerable, each in different arenas. Whether in the boardroom or on Air Force One, Frey knows how to deliver intrigue with just enough thrills to keep the pages turning. Mary Frances Wilkens
