Poison Pill in Paradise

By Mr. Stephen E Gravett

What happens when successful and famous class action lawyer Sean O'Neil from Dallas meets wealthy ex-international banking savant turned criminal Vincent Gianno from Ft. Lauderdale in a Las Vegas casino; a casino where both men secretly owe millions of dollars to the house? Two hours later in a casino lounge the two juiced losers hatch an illegal financial operative that will span North America, The Bahamas, Costa Rica and South America in order to save them both from financial and personal ruination. Poison Pill in Paradise weaves its readers through pharmaceutical espionage, stock manipulations, romance, international and domestic misdirection, betrayal and a bogus lawsuit so huge murder and mayhem are left in the wake of this desperate but innovative plan. The combined efforts of ex- New York lawyer Randall Penn and his friends in the criminal justice system in Miami are not sure what they finally have their arms around when they begin to close in on the desperate duo. What starts in one direction for master sleuth Penn quickly turns 180 degrees in another direction widening the distance between being caught and getting away with murder. After months of cat and mouse near misses law enforcement in a combined intelligence coup travels to an island paradise in the Bahamas with hopes of a capture. Attorney O'Neil and his financier Gianno are unaware that their impeccable plan is on a collision course with an ex-attorney turned DEA director working his first major criminal assignment. The venues are spectacular and menacing as the grand plan moves from Miami to Wall Street, Dallas to Costa Rica and Nassau to Bogota. In the end, lives are changed, financial ruination between former friends occurs and bodies are strewn. Poison Pill in Paradise "asks why" but the reader gets to see how.
