Naked Power — John Graham

Naked Power is the story of a struggle between super powers using the most basic of human motivations â€" sex and money â€" to achieve a revolutionary shift in world order. The floods of raw cash that burst out of the post communist Russian state bring unprecedented individual wealth to the country's oligarchs now based in booming, opportunistic London. Can those riches be allied to Russia's oil and gas reserves to achieve what the Red Army never could â€" global leadership? The battle involves Romanov, a ruthless intelligence chief, Gloria, a magnetic mistress of powerful men and Ethan Carter a top US agent called on to unravel the biggest scam London's money markets have ever seen. The battles, coolly staged in bedrooms, summit meetings, private clubs and offshore tax havens could all be happening right now in the fight for Naked Power. A power unrelated to morality.
