A Shark Out of Water - John Putnam Thatcher, Bk 24 Author:Emma Lathen The deal was murder — A megabucks investment opportunity draws financier/sleuth John Putnam Thatcher to the decaying Polish port if Gdansk, where a killing can be made if the busy canal there is rebuilt -- long a dream of maverick Baltic business official Stefan Zabriski. But cutthroat politicking and partying among multinational shippers, banker... more »s, and ecologists can be costly, and fatal, for Zabriski turns up dead after a serious champagne bash. Drawn into a sticky merger of power games, crooked commerce, and international intrigue, Thatcher must speculate on a deal more lethal that any he's ever seen on Wall Street.
