Contents

"Samuel Spendlove, one of the brightest young law academics at Oxford, has given it all up to work undercover for William Barton, owner of a massive global media empire. While Samuel's motives are complex, Barton's are simple: he wants vengeance. Khan, the legendary and inscrutable market trader working out of the Paris office of Ropner's Bank, has got in Barton's way once before. Samuel's task is to ensure that the man whose dealings have been known to bring nations to their knees never crosses Barton again." "Working for Khan and trading the markets is exhilarating for Spendlove, who is surprised to find that he admires the trader and the way he operates. He is also amazed by the desires, the needs and the outrageous excesses of his colleagues, but Kaz Day is different -- intriguing and glamorous. She also seems to have just what Samuel needs to nail Khan. When she goes missing, things start to go seriously wrong." -- BOOK JACKET.
