Book description
Thomas Clayton is a City trader working the markets in London's
Square Mile and living, financially, on borrowed time. But when he
returns home to New York for his father's funeral to discover he has
been left nearly million in a numbered Swiss bank account, he's at a
complete loss to explain how his professor father could have come by
such a sum. Whatever the explanation, the mysterious windfall has come
at exactly the right time.
So he travels to Zurich, secures the funds, and tells his wife to
make an offer on her dream country mansion. What Tom doesn't know yet
is that his father was being used as a 'ghost' to clean up dirty money
by a New York laundry operation: really the money belongs to Carlos
Morales, Medellin's biggest cocaine baron.
Tom's actions in Europe spark a murderous turf war in the Americas
between the cartels of Medellin and Cali, involving a cast of bent
lawyers, cops, undercover DEA - and transatlantic assassins who'll
stop at nothing or no one to make Tom pay his debt...
Bill Vidal was born in Argentina and educated in England. He lived

articles about flying have been published in leading newspapers and
magazines.
