Terry Downes, a young commercial banker aspiring to achieve a top management position in the banking industry, runs into problems when reporting to a maverick banker at an aggressive Florida bank after moving from one of the most conservative financial institutions in the country. After getting fired, he meets a couple of Canadian real-estate developers in his hometown of Wellington, Florida, who ask him to run their South Florida enterprises and acquire a commercial bank on their behalf to facilitate their real-estate businesses. After taking the job, and surprised that the Canadian's own an offshore bank in St. Kitts, Downes finds himself in the middle of a major drug trafficking ring. Before he can walk away, federal agencies raid his offices, close down the operations, after arresting and charging the Canadians. Two years later, thinking that that all is behind him after testifying in front of a federal grand jury, which results in lengthy prison sentences for the defendants, Downes is dragged back into a situation involving both political upheaval in St. Kitts and a conspiracy to affect the outcome of general election India and the ultimate assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, India's former prime minister. This riveting story, based on veridical facts, tells of a major Florida bank failure, an international political conspiracy, and worldwide drug and weapons dealing - all orchestrated by a huge ruthless Russian organized-crime syndicate and disclosed by Downes and a newspaper reporter.
