Viac o knihe

Description 1.: Head of a prestigious European bank, George Harlequin belongs to a vanishing class of gentlemen whose handshake is their bond. But when an envious corporate raider frames Harlequin for murder, no deed is too dirty if it will save Harlequin's reputation, his bank and his life. In a tiny group of best-selling novelists, Morris West qualifies as the brains of the organization. Description 2.: Who is Harlequin? To many men in the tough world of international finance George Harlequin, owner of the merchant bank Harlequin et Cie, is a playboy, an amateur. To Juliette, his wife, he is the perfect husband, the ideal lover - and beyond her reach. To Basil Yanko, millionaire head of a world-wide computer organisation, he is a man to be envied, despised - and bought out. As the struggle between the two men intensifies, it is Juliette Harlequin who pays the greatest price... Cover photograph: Andy Seymour
