In Gerald A. Browne's spellbinding New York Times bestseller, a man bent on vengeance infiltrates a cabal of blue-blooded bankers that have taken over the Mafia In a quiet suburb of New York City, a mansion on a gated estate houses one of the most powerful crime syndicates in the United States-an elite Mafia whose dons belong to the finest families that the WASP establishment has to offer. Millions of dollars flow in and out of 19 Purchase Street, toted by bagmen who gladly risk everything to share in the syndicate's profits. Nothing disrupts operations-until a courier gets a dangerous idea. To avenge a loved one's death, Drew Gainer joins the money-laundering scheme, plotting a billion-dollar heist with the help of a beautiful, daring woman and pitting himself against a ruthless opponent. From New York to Paris to Zurich, Gainer risks his life to become the winner who takes all. But who is really conning whom?
"[A] console of our contemporary nightmares at which the author . . . fingers every sinister key. . . . Superb."
The New York TimesBook Review
"A humdinger of a thriller complete with large dollops of sex, full of fast and violent action and launching the reader right into the middle of a plot so intriguingly convoluted that once hooked, you can't let go!"
Publishers Weekly
"Few people do sexy, grown-up romance as well as Browne."
