Summary

Largo must seek proof of his innocence in Turkey.

Fresh from his old pilot Freddy’s wedding, Largo is back in New York for more celebrating – the departure of one of his employees. But during the party, a Turkish national permanently retires Sir Basil with a couple of bullets. Shortly thereafter, the shooter himself is killed by a sniper before he’s had a chance to say a word. When the FBI finally gets involved, they come with accusations of gun trafficking and hiring assassins… Accusations levelled at Largo himself!

The 13th adventure of the reluctant tycoon! Largo Winch is a rare breed of man: a multibillionaire who distrusts money. Being rich does have advantages, but it also brings headaches, troubles, conspiracies, murder attempts and other despicable behavior in competitors and underlings. Largo has to stay on top of it all…
