Synopsis

Head of a prestigious European bank, George Harlequin belongs to a vanishing class of gentlemen whose handshake is their bond. But when an envious corporate raider frames Harlequin for murder, no deed is too dirty if it will save Harlequin's reputation, his bank and his life.

"In a tiny group of best-selling novelists, Morris West qualifies as the brains of the organization."
