Two of the wealthiest men in the world are engaged in a duel across borders and financial markets. One a pillar of New York society, who programs computer systems to trade the world’s markets. The other a decadent Texan living in Tangier who stalks the globe in pursuit of economic opportunity, trusting his wits and gut.
But now their games have turned deadly. A prominent Japanese banker is found murdered on the altar of a temple in Tokyo. A ship carrying weapons from Tokyo to the Caucasus goes missing. And hackers are causing computer-based traders to lose billions. Ben Wright is hired to trace the hackers who have cracked his system. But when he gets to Tokyo, he finds he is as much pawn as player in this deadly game. Can he escape before he becomes its next victim? And how will he have his revenge against those who treated his life with such disdain?
