As he searches for evidence through the back streets and corridors of power in the mid-east, Brazil and the United States, from the nitty-gritty of the souk to the Country Club of his nouveau riche parents, from the formality of the board room to the swirling camaraderie and intrigue of the extended family he realizes the several near-misses he survived were, in fact, attempts on his life. Too soon, he must confront his family at a board meeting with disastrous results.
