A Tale of Spies, Lies, and Wise Guys. Harry and his Quandary colleagues try to unravel the latest attempt by the Chinese and North Koreans to disrupt the financial institutions in the West.
A poisoned accountant, a Chinese painter, the PRC’s Minister of Technology, his brother the Director of the Enterprise Division of the MSS, and Harry, the art dealer who moonlights as a SIS agent search for why D. D. Greyson was murdered.
External enemies are easy to spot: Russia and China for example. But what about the internal enemies? Failure to understand history lead to the attempted Wall Street Putsch of 1933. It can happen again, but not if Harry has anything to say about it.
Harry has a dangerous flaw: he has an imagination, not something the men who run MI6 appreciate. Harry needs to prove himself; he needs excitement, and it comes in a deadly package of intrigue, murder, a master spy, and the elusive unknown, Harriet.
If Edward de Vere can be proven to be the author of Cardenio: it would cost Theo Payne-Foster, CEO of Payne-Foster Publishing, a fortune. Payne-Foster will do anything to stop that from happening. His main obstacle, the man he must stop, is Axel Webb.
Infidelity, murder, war, earthquakes, and historic treasures lead Axel from a swanky Toronto hotel to an Oyabun’s Tokyo headquarters and on to a high-octane London auction house; in search of what really is hidden in the cherrywood box.
International intrigue, religious extremism, self-preservation, and murder are all facets of the glittering pink prize. Who will find it, and at what cost? Or does it even still exist?
