Ruston Culhane is a tough, shrewd American trader in the international commodities market with a bold plan to rescue a failing dollar before he and his country are both in ruins. His scheme, the most gigantic manipulation in trading history, jets him on a whirlwind trip of intrigue from his Bel-Air mansion to the power capitals of the world - from desperate predawn conferences at the Oval Office to clandestine meetings from Moscow to Shanghai. Confronted by brazen treachery, double agents at every turn, personal tragedy at home, and a romantic adventure with a beautiful woman sent to spy on him, Culhane plays to win - and discovers how high the price of winning can be - in the world's deadliest game.
