Vikram Suri, CEO of TriNet Communications, is a new breed of corporate criminal---smarter
and infinitely more dangerous. Behind the façade of oak-paneled boardrooms, fancy
personal jets, and lavish mansions, Vik is masterminding a grand scheme of market
manipulation, smuggling, money laundering, and extortion through an international network
of banks, brokerage houses and dummy corporations. He is a megalomaniac who will stop
at nothing to grow his corporate empire, even murder.
As the clock winds down to Suri's deadly triumph, no one suspects his hidden
agenda - except Tom Carter, an investment banker working on the deal. Torn between his
job and his conscience, and locked in the crosshairs of the SEC, Tom enlists the help of
Amanda Fleming, a beautiful and intrepid New York Times reporter eager to "break" a big
story. Together, they must not only outsmart the brilliant Vik, but desperately try to stay
alive!
