A Rouge's Gallery

Nikos Rallis is the definitive high-risk investor, whose avarice entraps even the most savvy members of the international business community. He fluidly skirts legal barriers in Monaco, Switzerland, and the United States. His roguish pixie dust suffocates astute targets with outrageous promises of reward. Savvy women front his schemes, captivated only slightly by his charms but much more by the opportunity to share his gains. Perched in his Alpine headquarters, the obsessive secrecy of Switzerland and strategic purpose of Chinese foreign investment become veiled money-laundering tools for his exploitation of a defense contract in Washingtons easy-money climate. Ultimately, his chilling gallery of plundered emotions produces a fatal result that even his legendary diligence never anticipated.
