SHAKEDOWN

Damon Traynor leaves a glittering career on Wall Street to set up his own private equity business. When it is the winning bidder in the multi-billion dollar auction for a government-owned defense company, his firm&rsquo,s future success looks certain. <,br>,<,br>,But soon after the deal closes, Damon makes an alarming discovery&mdash,something that makes the recent acquisition worthless. Then he learns he was duped by the financially-strapped federal administration and that there are many others in the same position. Facing financial ruin, he investigates the US treasury officials behind the transaction. <,br>,<,br>,What Damon uncovers is a terrifying web of organized crime&mdash,extending all the way to the White House itself&mdash,involving blackmail and assassination on an industrial scale. When those around him begin to die, Damon finds himself locked in a deadly battle with the leader of the free world. <,br>,<,br>,Praise for SHAKEDOWN
