THE POWER BROKER
Exposing high-level governmental corruption, conspiracy, and murder has garnered plenty of attention for Christian Gillette, the young dynamo chairman of the famous New York private equity firm Everest Capital. Now the reputation he has built taking Everest to the top has been noticed beyond the boardrooms of high finance?by powerful people with potentially devastating agendas. Christian?s own attention is on Las Vegas, where he means to stake out a piece of the action by opening a new casino and launching an NFL franchise. But Sin City didn?t get its nickname for nothing, and the mob soon makes it clear that Christian?s company will have to pay if it wants to play in the nation?s gaming capital.
