Unjustly arrested in Istanbul, Largo is thrown into the worst prison in Turkey, where he finds himself surrounded by brutes—prisoners and guards alike—who speak only the language of violence.
Largo manages to escape in the company of Simon Ovronnaz, a likeable Swiss thief trapped, like him, in this hell-on-earth. They find refuge in the house of the British Consul, whose ravishing daughter Charity and an equally charming friend set out, in their own particular ways, to make Largo and Simon forget their misfortunes.
Saved by the narrowest of margins, Largo Winczlav becomes Largo Winch, and discovers that there exists a Hell worse than any Turkish prison: high finance and the sharks that circle within the W Group’s Board of Directors—some of whom await his slightest false step to begin the scramble for power. One of them, in particular... The man that orchestrated Largo’s imprisonment hasn't balked at killing to achieve his ends. Largo knows his enemy is ready to do whatever it takes to seize power—ready to kill and to keep on killing. This two-volume book includes "The Heir" and "the W Group". |
