John Chandler, a successful New York energy consultant to the elite of the hedge fund world, suddenly finds himself caught up in Middle East intrigue and an ethical and lethal entaglement between a seductive London oil trader, his young associate, and his professional reputation. The current political situation in the volatile Middle East provides the backdrop for this international tale set in New York City and London.
Although (or maybe because) it reads more like a textbook on the oil market or Middle Eastern history than your average is novel is wont to, this was a pleasure to read.
