Summary: "In exactly six days, Jeff Gavallan will take Russia's top media company public on the New York Stock Exchange. A fomer fighter pilot and the CEO of Black Jet Securities, Gavallan is no stranger to risk. But when rumors of fraud threaten to send the deal south - and with it everything Gavallan has worked so hard to build - he dispatches his number-two man to Moscow to penetrate the shadowy company. When Grafton Byrnes fails to return, Gavallan plunges into a desperate search for his friend, racing from Zurich to Moscow for answers. But for this brave ex-pilot haunted by vision of war, the truth comes at a terrible price. With the hours ticking down, he is moving closer to a place where murder is the currency of choice...and where the first billion is the deadliest obsession of all." - Back cover.
