About Jay: Jay spent 40 years in international finance, with a primary focus on managing investments in sovereign debt, including the distressed sovereign debt of Latin American, Eastern European, African, and Asian countries. He is viewed as “the mastermind” behind a historic 15-year fight to recover billions of dollars in defaulted debt from the government of Argentina.
The Book: A group of American patriots, all former military, are looking for a way to get their number one choice, Senator Ben Corn, elected president. Corn is a telegenic, perfect candidate—yet harbors secrets that threaten him. The group’s goal is to implement their own foreign policy and fundamentally restructure American society. Essential to this scheme is Greta Webb, a sophisticated and beautiful CIA agent who is an expert on how global dark money flows, not to mention skilled in lethal hand-to-hand combat. Journeying across the globe from New York to Washington to Middle Eastern war zones to wine cellars in the French countryside to Putin’s private restaurant in St. Petersburg, they become enmeshed in this underground world. And as they discover the secret of the dark money’s pool’s success—which involves manipulating the markets to rake in billions of dollars—they come into ever increasing danger. Ultimately the team of Americans must decide whether their ultimate objectives are worth the cost of ruthlessly sacrificing not just a few but potentially many human lives.
