Lady In White - Gordon, Karen S

. .

Résumé :
A kidnapping draws a former lawyer turned money launderer into a secret plot to overthrow the Cuban government.

Vance Courage has sworn off life as a lawyer and is living comfortably off the millions of dirty dollars he helped salvage and keeps hidden in an offshore account. Out of the blue, he gets an offer to invest in a dive outfit in the Cayman Islands and the plan is simple-buy more boats and book lots of fake trips. He's intrigued and wants to legitimize some of the money but so far, every business venture he's attempted has been an unmitigated disaster. Lauren Gold, his cohort and girlfriend and herself a millionaire, catches a flight from Miami to the Cayman Islands to check it out-and promptly disappears.

Following a cryptic text message from the kidnapper, Courage meets a mysterious Cuban woman at a popular Miami tourist attraction prepared to receive the ransom demand. The lady in white knows secrets about his family and the source of his illicit cash...

Sommaire:

A surprise offer to invest in a Cayman Islands dive operation sounds almost too simple: buy more boats, book fake trips, and start washing the cash. Every legitimate venture Vance Courage and Lauren Gold have tried so far has failed. This time they want to get it right.

Lauren flies to the Caymans to check out the deal-and vanishes.

A cryptic message leads Vance to a Miami tourist attraction, expecting a ransom demand. A Cuban woman in white is already waiting. She knows secrets about his family and his money that no one should know. She warns him the Cuban counterrevolution is coming-and that Monkey needs his cash. Now.

The problem? Ricardo Monkey Morales was shot and killed in a Miami bar fight decades ago.

While Lauren's life hangs in the balance, Vance is pulled into a world where dead men still walk... and the line between fact and fiction disappears.
