The Power Broker by Stephen Frey

Christian Gillette, the youthful dynamo chairman of the prestigious New York private equity firm Everest Capital, has attracted a lot of attention for exposing high-level governmental corruption, conspiracy, and murder. Now his reputation has been noticed beyond the boardrooms of high finance--by powerful people with potentially fatal intentions.

Christian's own focus is on Las Vegas, where he plans to carve out a piece of the activity by constructing a new casino and starting an NFL team. However, the mafia quickly makes it obvious that Christian's company will have to pay if it wants to play in the nation's gaming capital.Christian has already faced off against corporate pirates and cold-blooded killers and is ready to take on the mob.

Senator Jesse Ford is the overwhelming favorite to become the first black president of the United States, and Christian Gillette is the man he wants alongside him in the hotly contested fight for the White House. But Samuel Hewitt, a Texas businessman with billions to burn, has other plans for Christian: Christian will become a member of a shadow organization fueled by wealth and bound by dark secrets that has controlled the course of history.

Christian realizes--perhaps too late--that in a grudge battle between kingmakers hell-bent on triumph at all costs, he may be the last pawn sacrificed as the pieces of Hewitt's game come into place, and a twisted network of intrigue, deceit, blackmail, and death tightens and tightens.

With The Power Broker, acclaimed author Stephen Frey unleashes a fast-paced thriller that defies expectations and never lets up.
