Falco

BEGINNING IN GENEVA, and following through to locations around the globe, the time was early in the 1990s: a world still without Internet, email or electronic documents?when business was still (mostly) conducted face-to-face. Through a web of intrigue, murder, sex and the destruction of other well-known banking names along the way, Falco chronicles the rise and fall of its richly drawn characters through a series of hard-fought temptations, as they desperately try to sidestep inevitable disaster. At its core, the story centers on a debt?large enough to bankrupt a major financial institution.  While others might have acquiesced to the inevitable, walking away and dealing with the consequences of failure, that was never an option with Falco: a company always on the edge?looking to go just enough beyond the scope of reasonableness or lawfulness, into realms both murky and unknown in order to survive. Author G.M. Weiss weaves together a tale of lust and recklessness that smolders through a backdrop of mounting tension and pathos, all the while careening towards what could become the largest financial meltdown the world has ever seen.
