When Karma Is Corrupt

When Karma is Corrupt - A corporate thriller On the surface Francis Scott-Wren appears like any other rich socialite - tailored suits, old world charm and significant wealth. A man born to privilege. But what only a very few know, is that Scott-Wren has a secret: he uses his wealth and influence to rid the world of greed and selfishness. Now he has his sights on ruthless power broker George Schwartz, who directs Schwartz Inc. as a vehicle of personal profit and vengeance. Backed by his team of highly trained agents, including his loyal sidekicks Dhammakarati, a Buddhist monk, and the anti-social female agent Jo, Scott-Wren and his team set off on a collision course with Schwartz that will leave some dead and others exposed. As the action travels from five star hotels via Buddhist monasteries to the hallowed halls of the world's most powerful players, Scott-Wren engages Schwartz in a fierce battle of wits that exposes disturbing similarities between himself and his prey. What remains to be seen is whether they really are so different and how far Scott-Wren is willing to go for victory. " ... fast-paced, enjoyable and well-structured ..." Henry Porter, author of A Spy's Life Full of action and international intrigue, Charlotte Mandrup's intense thriller is also an examination of significant moral dilemmas including whether the end justifies the means, personal gain versus the greater good, and the righteousness of vigilante justice.
