About this ebook
A threatening email arriving on Dan Coltrane's home computer one morning leads him into a world of murky banking practice and illicit finance. One finance conglomerate is engaged in the purchase of high art paintings for sale on the world-wide black market. Coltrane pursues Felix Blanchard, the CEO of a major Australian Bank and finds that he is charging illegal and fraudulent fees from every bank customer and channeling it into his own accounts. With the millions of dollars collected on a monthly basis, Blanchard purchases artworks by Picasso, Monet, da Vinci and other masters of art. Despite his considerable knowledge of Art, Blanchard is unaware that most of the a paintings he purchases are forgeries painted by the brilliant and world-famous forger, Wolfgang Beltracci. Coltrane, with his fellow field agent Denise Gray is lured to the picturesque city of Genoa in a bid to track down the source of a computer programme that will enable Blanchard to control the finances of countries across the world from his banking empire. When the Arab nations are duped into investing in Blanchard's plan, the hunt is on to apprehend those involved. Coltrane and Denise Gray succeed in following the Art forgery trail back to Sydney in Australia after discovering the Cloudburst computer programme that can control international finances. It can also be used to resist Blanchard's corporation and his intent to control the world economy. The story concludes with the Arab nations taking their revenge on Felix Blanchard and the people responsible for crimes against them. Coltrane finally accepts that some horrific punishments in the world of international justice are beyond his control.
