Desperate investors fly to the Caribbean, only to find a building site. When some speak out online, expensive London lawyers send threatening letters. Behind closed doors, disgruntled former employees tip off the Serious Fraud Office. Investigator John McCarroll begins asking the critical question: is Harlequin a struggling business or something far more sinister? As expert advisors deliver their devastating assessment, David Ames faces a choice that will determine the fate of the thousands who trusted him with everything they had. Will he listen?
