Desmond Blackstone Dirk Purchase of Power

He's back. He's bolder. His shoes cost more than your mortgage. His skillset includes offensive driving, corporate espionage, and the ancient art of fighting while stepping lightly. His enemies include assassins raised in darkness, paranoid oil sheiks with golden bathtubs, and vipers that definitely weren't supposed to be in that Mark Cross luggage. A contract has been signed - a Comprehensive Platinum Lux Executive Protection Package. The client? Mysterious. The attacks? Relentless. The body count? Growing by the second. The mission takes Dirk from billionaire bunkers in Doha to a secret auction in the snowy Swiss Alps - where the world's most dangerous criminal organizations are bidding for ultimate power. At stake: a new blockchain-based "Key" that will tilt the balance of the global underworld. Zmeya already has an extra one. The rest will kill for a chance at theirs. From Triads to cartels, each syndicate has their own peculiarities - and their own reasons for wanting Desmond dead. And as he and his team navigate exploding Bentleys, double-crossing spy-preneurs, and orchestral shootouts in the heart of London, one truth emerges: not everyone in his corner belongs there. The mission? Get to the auction. Stop the power grab. Look devastatingly good in a tux while doing it. Who is Desmond Dirk? The better question is - who's about to betray him?
