ONE MISTAKE IS ALL IT TAKES TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY.

It’s 1973. Oil wars, terrorist attacks, Watergate… Senator Temple has his hands full, maneuvering political turmoil at home and the powder keg that is the Middle East. His mistake allows a criminal businessman to seize control of the world’s energy sector. Powerful oil dynasties—the Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses—could help Temple fix things, but greed and old grudges threaten the alliance.

Three families, their fates interlinked. A politician with secrets. An enemy to fear. From high-society New York to dusty Middle Eastern villages, from broken romances to bitter conspiracies, they battle their way through the glitter and grit of the ’seventies and ’eighties. One wrong move from any of them, a single error, will echo across decades and change history.

The Maltese Attack starts a gripping political saga, a tale of powerful men and women who fight ruthlessly, hate virulently, and love unwisely.

A SINGLE LIE COULD WIN THE WAR WITHOUT SHEDDING A DROP OF BLOOD.

The chaotic ’eighties… political assassinations, drug wars, the computer revolution… Jared Sanders, the criminal oilman, is inches away from controlling the White House. His old nemesis, Senator Temple, stands in the way. This time, the senator is not alone.

The heirs of the three oldest clans in the oil business join Temple. An aspiring lawyer with her eye on a supreme court seat, a Navy SEAL with a target on his back, and a dashing blueblood from New York City. Together, they could defeat the enemy without firing a single shot. Except, the lies which thrust them into the alliance, the family secrets, refuse to stay buried.

Three dynasties, a ruthless adversary, a long conspiracy… from the hallways of the West Wing to the pages of tabloids, from Lebanese towns to Argentine oilfields, The Manhattan Swindle continues the riveting saga of treachery, heartbreak, vengeance, and blood feuds.

GREAT LEADERS CANNOT AFFORD TO BE GOOD MEN.

1986: Old scores settled, U.S. President Temple must consolidate control over a volatile nation and a changing world. A nuclear explosion in far-off Russia, political shifts in Western Europe, the AIDS virus… amid the disarray, three former allies refuse to cede command over the oil sector.

The Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses have united under the woman Temple once thought of as his daughter. No matter how brutal the battle, she will not concede. Nor will her lieutenant—her childhood sweetheart, who is now a decorated Navy SEAL. Then there’s the American aristocrat she’s rumored to be romancing secretly.

Temple cannot allow his affection for her to stop him from doing what he must. He will deploy a powerful weapon… someone who needs Lilah Kingsley to die.

From the Alaskan tundra to Manhattan Island, from backroom deals to glittering red carpets, The Cuban Gambit continues the epic tale of unstoppable greed and hunger for power, a story of illicit affairs and dangerous obsessions.
