Contention: A Novel of International Suspense and Intrigue - Paperback

by Gary D. McGugan (Author)

Fidelia Morales is supreme mobster in the world of organized crime, with international interests in prostitution, illicit drugs, gambling, payday loans, and money laundering. She also rules her outfit with an iron fist. How will she react when her sometime lover and top financial genius wants out?

Howard Knight has lived under Fidelia's rigid control while he invested, scammed, or stole hundreds of millions in cyber currency for her and her criminal outfit, The Organization. But he craves freedom.

Will she let him wade into a new corporate espionage venture from a Caribbean Island? Can the notorious crime boss manipulate her on-and-off lover's ambitions and still realize a long-held dream of controlling one of the world's largest publicly traded businesses?

Contention pits the aspirations of one against the unimaginable power and reach of the other, setting Multima Corporation's CEO-Suzanne Simpson-squarely in their criminal crosshairs. Will the high-powered executive recognize signals of impending danger soon enough to defend the massive company she inherited?
