The assassination of the Chinese premier during a state visit to Hong Kong sends the HK markets into freefall, triggering a global financial crisis. Various govts turn to their Central Bankers for a solution. In Tuscany for emergency talks, the Bankers decide to use their unlimited cash resources to beat the speculators at their own game and turn global panic into profitable recovery. They need an expert to organise the rescue - and in management consultant Jonathan Maynard they have just the man. Maynard and fellow expert, Karen Lau, decide on Bermuda as the location of the global rescue fund. But when the markets turn upward, Jonathan and Karen begin to wonder whether Bermuda is an island paradise or a twelve-square-mile prison where they can't hide? Who will share in the huge gains they reap as world markets recover? Why do five Central Bankers make them an offer they can't refuse?

As Paul's editor I was very fortunate to inherit him from a former colleague, although it was unfortunate that I didn't discover him in the first place.
In The Frontrunner, he has written a fantastically in- depth thriller that like his previous two has a financial background. The Frontrunner has everything from assassination and conspiracy to murder and drugs, all set against a background of high finance, dragging the reader around the world at break neck speed.
Paul Kilduff just gets better and better.
