The Patron Christopher Holdroyd

A refreshing and humorous fictional expose of Swiss Banking with a political twist. A refugee crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, a greedy African dictator and the politically utopian island nation of Sofia all collide in a tale of money, murder, espionage, betrayal, love and redemption. In the near future, Sandro Montessano, a Swiss banker, is invested in the Mediterranean island country of Sofia only to find, he's got a big problem. The island country is smack dab in the middle of an unprecedented flow of migrants out of Africa. With a new type of radar system, Sandro discovers a way to turn crisis into opportunity, saving lives in the process. The likeable rascal, Marco Ferante, is Sandro's Chief of Security. Sandro and Marco, together with Sandro's brother Antonio and Stanley Ho, a journalist with Google World News, try to solve mounting predicaments as their stalker, General Bagfried of the Democratic African Republic, ruthlessly infiltrates their lives. Can they stop the General? And more important, can they save the innocent? A little boy's life hangs in the balance.
