Résumé

Corruption, Collusion, Conspiracy leads to one man's downfall. Fear, Hope, Despair take you from New York to Las Vegas in this fast, tense, tale. Revenge drives you to Asuncion, Paraguay. Jim Sharkey, a failed banker, is both the hunter and the hunted. Left to die in the Mojave desert he survives and seeks revenge. The flow of money through the global banking system was once his life-blood. Now it threatens to be his poison.
London, Zurich, and the Isle of Man set the stage for the adrenalin-fueled climax. Gullible, no hoper, James Sharkey gambled best in Pat Mullan's gripping thriller, A Deadly Gamble; Corrupton Collusion, Conspiracy. He was driven by delayed cop on, then vengefulness and helped by a mistaken belief that a contract to kill him had succeeded. This all happened in the world of off and on shore banking, money laundering, veneer regulation; what has become familiar since 2008, but here, Mullan shocks.
Banking security can have allies like the billionaire Pilkenroth Twins, whose beloved business is murder galore. It pays for their extravagant life style, such as flying their private plane, on murder assignment, from Las Vegas to Florida and on to London. Their hirers are the wealthiest family in Paraguay, adroit in hedging, investment portfolios, the fed, yield curves, selling short. The family has a secret though; the source of their wealth is Nazi loot.
And family shrewdness has not been proof against befriending and confiding in a Casanova swindler. Our Casanova has as many different names as his swindling requires, one name to reveal the family's secret, another to con Sharkey. Having copped on after two suspense filled investigations, the family and Sharkey independently and competitively pursue our Casanova. This international pursuit makes for an unputdownable read.
