Plunder IS HERE!
THE GRIPPING TALE OF FINANCING WORLD WAR II
World War II rages across Europe, the fate of Britain hangs by a thread, and America is out of money. Into the chasm steps Frank Cork. From his splendid townhouse on the edge of Hyde Park, Frank must outwit the battle-hardened general, the tony ambassador, and the steel industry shill. Beset by bombs, politics, and the love triangle at the heart of the story, can Frank help FDR fund the path to peace?
"A rip-roaring good read. And the research—oh, the research! A tour-de-force.” - Michel Lucas, Founding Partner, Decima Research
"Emotionally Charged. A must-read.” - Readers’ Choice Book Award
Cinematic … and oh what a cast! Frank, Katrina, and Lewis are back. Hector Ray émerges, and three new characters rise to the fore—the General, the lobbyist, and the steel industry shill.
