Tokyo Bossa Nova — Martin Roth

A body is discovered on the dealing room floor of upper-crust investment bankers Baund Major, in this financial thriller from best-selling author Martin Roth. Meanwhile, a shady Japanese takeover specialist is trying to acquire an obscure Australian oil company.

Enter Feisty Ferreira, a thirty-something geologist from Brazil who has taken a high-salary position at Baund Major in order to support the orphanage that she impulsively bought on a mission trip to the Philippines.

Sent to Tokyo to uncover the mystery of the takeover bid, she finds herself enveloped in a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of government. Along the way she is also forced to battle yakuza gangsters to rescue her own niece from the exotic Tokyo Bossa Nova nightclub, where she is being forced to work as a hostess.

Her only ally would seem to be handsome Japanese investment banker Shiggy Sanjo. Yet even he may not be telling the truth.

In this high-intensity action thriller nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted. Plot twists will leave the reader guessing until the â€" literally â€" explosive finale.
