Jochen Brockmann is a successful sales manager, but he gets caught up in a collapsing system. The bank refuses further credit, Indonesia will not invest, the Chinese step forward. Sylvester Lee Fleming, an unscrupulous dealer, financial investor and risk consultant, appears as rescuer, seducer and tempter. Anyone who was young in the twentieth century dreamed of a different society; those political utopias turned into terror, and former revolutionaries became managers. A metaphysical thriller about the twenty-first century and the ghosts of the past, set around the globe, where only one question remains: which deal still works?
