Now he faces a mission far beyond boardrooms: Sanctioning a clandestine coup in Cuba after the sudden death of its president. The U.S. offer—covertly backed by President Jesse Wood—requires Gillette to broker a successful revolutionary regime without the White House's blessing. As enemies seek vengeance and political intrigue spills from the streets of Havana to the Oval Office, the stakes rise. Adding personal risk, Gillette has appointed his ambitious associate, Allison Wallace, as his successor at Everest, threatening the balance of power even within his own firm.
