SUCCESSOR, THE by Stephen Frey - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKMake-or-break decisions involving millions of dollars are all in a
day’s work for Christian Gillette, chairman of Everest Capital, New
York’s most renowned private equity firm. He’s taken on the toughest,
most powerful, and often most dangerous adversaries and prevailed–all
the while honing his skill for being cool under fire, literally. But
now Gillette will be put to the ultimate test. He’s offered the chance
to seal a deal unlike any other, one that goes beyond boardrooms,
balance sheets, and even Everest itself–one that will leave its mark on
history.
Gillette is no stranger to Jesse Wood, the first
African American president of the United States, having been Wood’s
chosen running mate in his historic bid for the White House. Though
still slightly upset over being dropped from the ticket at the eleventh
hour, Gillette’s not about to ignore the chief executive’s summons to a
top-secret meeting at Camp David. There, Wood drops a bombshell: The
president of Cuba is dead. Cuba’s communist regime has kept the
dictator’s demise hush while it races to fill the power vacuum. And the
United States is poised to support a cabal of Cuban professionals
plotting a coup. The President wants Gillette to meet with the
conspirators and size up the chances for a successful capitalist
revolution. But by no means can his mission be traced back to the White
House. If anything goes wrong, Gillette is on his own.
And if
certain people have their way, something will go wrong. For the
conspiracy to liberate Cuba isn’t the only one afoot. Enemies in high
places, who will go to any lengths to wreak revenge on Gillette and
tounseat President Wood, have set in motion a campaign of deception,
sabotage, and murder whose shockwaves will resonate from the streets of
Havana to the Oval Office. But for Gillette, who has just named his
alluring and ambitious protégé, Allison Wallace, as his successor at
Everest, the greatest peril may lie much closer to home.
The
Successor is blue-chip Stephen Frey, marshaling his flawless instincts
for edgy, provocative, breathtaking suspense with a master’s touch.
