Synopsis

John 'Jett' Gavallan, a former fighter pilot, now the high-flying CEO of Black Jet Securities, is banking on the riskiest gamble of his career. In exactly six days, he will take Mercury Broadband, Russia's leading media company, public on the New York Stock Exchange. Billions are at stake, but rumours that the company is a fraud place the deal on a knife-edge and when his number-two man disappears in Moscow, Jett finds himself trapped in a deadly conspiracy. Hunted by the FBI and a band of elite killers, Jett races from Palm Beach to Zurich to Moscow in his search for answers...but the truth comes at a terrible price.
