Corruption's Price: A Spanish Deceit

Davide returns to Spain to grow an American company's client list. Realising the chances of success are diminishing and suspicious about why, he invites previous business partner Caterina to Madrid to explore what might be wrong. Caterina brings Emilia, her multi-talented and bi-sexual friend. The three work with Ana, who is from Madrid. She introduces her cousin, a senior policeman investigating national crimes involving corruption and money laundering. They are backed by a frustrated investigating judge. In disentangling a cat's cradle of connections, they uncover deceits reaching deep into business and beyond. These touch the Church, Opus Dei, the legal profession and politicians. Their activities provoke a reaction from those who fear the consequences. The effect threatens to undermine the viability of the Spanish State. Who will win? [This is the second Davide Shape/Inma Avila novel.]
