Realising the chances of success are diminishing and suspicious about why, he asks Caterina Certaldo, a previous business partner, to come from Sydney to Madrid and explore what's wrong. She does, bringing with her a fellow Australian and bi-sexual colleague, Emilia. All too soon their joint efforts indicate corrupt business practices. Davide, Caterina and Emilia are joined by a Madrileña, Ana de la Rosa, who introduces her cousin, Pedro Casals, a senior policeman responsible for investigating national crimes like corruption and money laundering. They are backed by the formal powers of Rafa Garibey de Williams, a frustrated investigating judge. As they try to understand a cat's cradle of connections, they discover deceits which reach deep into not only into business but beyond - to the Church, Opus Dei, the legal profession and ... politicians. Their activities soon provoke a reaction from those who fear the consequences, who try to prevent progress. The effect is to question the future viability of major parts of the Spanish State. [This is the second novel in The Corruption Series. It is set in Spain.]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45506283307159,"sku":"9781517024253","price":1376.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781517024253.webp?v=1767165823","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/corruptions-price-a-spanish-deceit-9781517024253","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
