Let's Make Like Lucan

Rory Luccombe has had a successful and prosperous life as an airline pilot and businessman. He moves in wealthy circles and fancies himself as an investment advisor to the rich and powerful. However, prompted by greed, he goes too far and loses vast amounts of other peoples' money. Panicking, he snatches an opportunity to evade arrest and attempts to disappear, but this proves very difficult in the current climate of international security agencies monitoring every electronic transmission. He contrives to fake his death, but his deception fails due to the persistent pursuit by Gil Lamont, an ex-military policeman with aspirations of recovering his lost investment and his reputation as a top-rate detective. Driven by events, he tracks the fugitive from Florida to Paris and on to Scotland, but all his efforts and those of the forces of law and order fail to bring Luccombe to trial and to prevent his untimely death from an unexpected source.
