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
trafficking. If Largo's protestations of innocence are to be
believed it looks as if his arrest and Winch's death may be part of the
same plot, orchestrated by someone who intends gaining control of
Winch's business empire...
