Leona Hewitt finally receives the promotion she's been
working for -- vice president of a Washington, D.C., bank.
But her very first task creates a quandary. Her boss made
it pretty clear he expects her to rubber-stamp approval for
a conversion in the way the company operates.
Unfortunately, as Leona delves into the situation, it
becomes clear there's something wrong with this company and
its leaders. In fact, it seems that people may have been
killed to make sure this deal goes through, and Leona could
be a target if she follows her instincts and stops the
conversion.
Leona has built an interesting life, working successfully
at the bank and using her money to organize and fund a non-
profit that worked to save elephants in South Africa. The
man who handles the delicate financial challenges of
getting her dollars to work in the corrupt atmosphere of
South Africa may be the only person who can help her out of
the challenge she's facing in her usually stable banking
career. But Mike Anderson ran into trouble on his last trip
to South Africa and has disappeared.
Buick gives an interesting blend of two very different
worlds in DELICATE CHAOS. The switch between Mike's brutal
world in South Africa and the equally brutal world of
corporate crime encourages readers to see the similarities.
I like Buick's no-nonsense writing style and the feeling
that he thinks his readers are smart enough to grasp the
financial complexities that are an important part of this
story. A good read.
Leona Hewitt, a successful Washington banker, finds her life
on the line when she takes on a new client. A powerful
company is out to lose millions if she doesn't approve a
transaction... and they've hired a killer to make sure she
doesn't present a problem
