Chameleon

Jon Phillips is head bond trader at one of Wall Street<U+2019>s largest investment banks and lives the American dream in the heart of New York<U+2019>s decadent banking community. But, after years of selfishness and extravagance, he plans his exit through an unprecedented and ultimately fraudulent deal in the US government bond market. A high-ranking colleague, who sits on the bank<U+2019>s main board, has teamed up with a Russian financier in order to provide Jon with one of the key elements vital to the success of his ingenious scheme. The deal goes spectacularly wrong and Jon<U+2019>s world collapses. As the Russians desperately attempt to recover their lost millions, Jon is thrown into a deadly game of cat and mouse. From the seedy nightspots of downtown NYC to the plush yacht clubs of the Hamptons, pastoral aristocratic England, and Southern Australia<U+2019>s endless beaches, past lovers, new menaces, and numerous apparently accidental deaths line his trail. Jon<U+2019>s survival now depends on putting the past behind him and becoming a calculated predator instead of the vulnerable prey.
