The multi-millionaire Nerio Winch is found drowned. His death
looks suspicious, particularly as he was the founder and majority
shareholder of a vast corporate empire, Group W. The man who
stands to inherit Winch's colossal fortune is Largo, a Bosnian that the
business magnate secretly adopted thirty years earlier. But Largo
is locked away in a prison cell in South America, charged with drugs

same plot, orchestrated by someone who intends gaining control of
Winch's business empire...
