      About This Book

      THE DEAL WAS MURDER

      A megabucks investment opportunity draws financier/sleuth John Putnam Thatcher to the decaying Polish port of Gdansk, where a killing can be made if the busy canal there is rebuilt--long a dream of maverick Baltic business official Stefan Zabriski. But cutthroat politicking and partying among multinational shippers, bankers, and ecologists can be costly, and fatal, for Zabriski turns up dead after a serious champagne bash. Drawn into a sticky merger of power games, crooked commerce, and international intrigue, Thatcher must speculate on a deal more lethal than any he's ever seen on Wall Street.
