Samenvatting:

BOND HUNTER A Taut International Thriller - A young lawyer is plunged into danger when she discovers Hitler's link to Wall Street It is October 1994, four years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Stunned by the mysterious death of her grandfather and law partner, new attorney Kenna Rand is approached to take over his efforts to redeem a portfolio of German bearer bonds issued during Hitler's rise to power. The bonds, in default since the Nazi regime, are payable in gold. Germany has agreed to review the claim, provided the bonds are delivered to Switzerland's settlements bank within two weeks. With the newly created EU in its infancy, Kenna's demand could plunge the German economy and global markets into chaos. Billions of dollars are at stake as Kenna races across continents to reach Basel before time runs out. Powerful interests coalesce to stop her, including her own government. Kenna finds herself pursued by "Countess," a cold-blooded fortune hunter operating under the guise of royalty, and Klaus Kessel, a ruthless international agent acting for the FBi. By its heart-pounding finish, Kenna uncovers chilling truths about Germany's war on Europe - and America's role in financing it. BOND HUNTER is based upon facts concerning Germany's dark alliance with Wall Street in the years leading up to WW II. The author is a former finance attorney, whose probe into the history of the German gold bonds led to BOND HUNTER. "BOND HUNTER is a riveting tale of deception and betrayal . . .fast, tense and gripping." Jeffrey Weston, author of "German Financial Time Bomb."
