The Lazarus Trade: The chance for a second life - for a price

A year from now, and unrest is spreading across Europe and America as faith in the system crumbles. The financial markets are buzzing with the deal of the year: DAWN CRYO, the world’s first cryogenics company to be floated on the Exchanges. Now those who thought they were facing certain death can be frozen until a cure is found – for a price. In a London park, Daniel Wood, the lead analyst on the Dawn Cryo deal, is approached by a stranger who threatens kill him unless he sabotages the deal. Apparently unconnected, MI6 Agent Emma Wilson is dispatched to Argentina to infiltrate a crack mercenary team which MI6 fear could be a major terrorist attack. At the Headquarters of the London Bank behind Dawn Cryo, Beverly Kane is running the deal. She is sent to Boston to persuade the huge East Coast hedge funds to back the deal. If she succeeds, the deal will be worth hundreds of millions for the bank. If she fails, she knows she will be thrown to the wolves. London Detective Anne Perry, trying to make sense of the anger and despair blighting the streets of her town, is called to investigate a series of apparent suicides in The City. She quickly suspects that these are not what they seem. As Emma Wilson finds herself fighting for her life in the deserts of Argentina, Anne Perry is drawn deeper into the dark heart of the markets. A world of limitless greed, where there are no rules and where death is just another trade. As the anger of the people begins to boil over, they must all face the shocking truth. What really lies behind the Dawn Cryo deal?
