One Last Deal is the confessions of an unrepentant con-man. Businessman, Daniel Fogg, tells his own story about how his grandiose ambitions to build a global financial empire fell victim to greed, ego, and vanity. It all begins when he makes the life-changing decision to move his business to the exotic island tax-haven of Malzano, home of celebrities, defunct aristocracy, and self-made billionaires.
Daniel is at a point in his life when he ‘craves youth, energy, glamor, and risk’, cravings that lead him to make dangerous liaisons and poor decisions.
A self-described ‘hustler with a conscience’, Daniel tries to make a sport of accumulating wealth and he wants to play a ‘good clean game’, but he has to contend with mayhem, murder, and corruption on the island. Aggravated by personal tragedy, weakness of character, and an over-charged ego, he resorts to lying, cheating, and fraud for his own survival.
A thriller of a story, One Last Deal has many elements of popular crime fiction – glamor, mystery, sex, betrayal, treachery – but it is, at heart, a tale of personal pathos about a man whose vanity drives him to reach beyond his grasp.
