Turkey, rarely out of today's headlines, is a country of 80 million that has somehow lost its way on the road to becoming one of the world's most advanced and democratic nations. "The Oligarch Murders" is a mystery/adventure centered around the murders of 6 prominent Turkish Oligarchs, who head powerful family-owned conglomerates. Peter Ross, a brilliant international consultant, is secretly recruited to track down the conspirators behind the killings. In the process, he discovers that his father, a partner in a white-shoe DC law firm, may have been their first victim.

As he navigates the murky waters of Middle East politics and delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, he becomes entangled in a dangerous web of betrayal and deceit... while also facing off against an eclectic cast of unforgettable characters. From a power-hungry Minister of State to an irresistibly beautiful Israeli spy, a Machiavellian, dwarf-like political boss, a homicidal Russian mafia don, and a ring of international diamond smugglers, Ross must use his insight and cunning to uncover the shocking truth behind the conspiracy.

Barely escaping the largest terror attack in Turkish history to surviving the explosive collapse of a restored temple in the ancient city of Ephesus... and later facing almost certain death in the jungle-like hills above the international playground of Bodrum, Ross races against time to catch the malevolent villains.

Written by a colleague of an assassinated Turkish Oligarch, "The Oligarch Murders" is a thrilling, roller-coaster ride through Turkey's opaque/unpredictable world. With charismatic, smart-ass Peter Ross at the helm, this pulse-pounding journey of danger, duplicity, and intrigue is a novel you won't want to put down.
