In some of the best suspense novels, fact and fiction intertwine themselves into chilling, believable scenarios. Clearing House describes the clandestine world of international money laundering through the eyes of two protagonists - a talented entrepreneur linked to a New York crime syndicate and an innocent banker who finds himself caught up in the scheme.
Enter the world of Clearing House where the battleground is global, the financial reward is limitless and the playing field is the business of international banking itself.
Clearing House is global in scope - from the streets of Brooklyn to the towers of Manhattan, the souks of Peshawar, Dubai and Cairo and the capital cities of Europe, Asia and Latin America.
