Denver office developer, Alexander Kellogg, is likely murdered in a powerful home explosion. His wife, Maggie Donaldson; a South American drug cartel; a ruthless bookmaker; and a prominent U.S. congressman are the prime suspects. Alexander's brother, Robert, desperately tries to save Kellogg Development Company after its default on a $350 million office portfolio loan, as well as defending several lawsuits. Maggie, who has fled to Switzerland, has stolen $70 million from the development company, plus $9 million of the cartel's partnership funds. Maggie enlists her daughter, Chanelle, in the caper to share in the wealth. The FBI and Interpol decline to get involved in Maggie's disappearance, although Robert Kellogg, a private investigator, a dedicated police detective, and a crafty district attorney collaborate to solve the murder mystery. The Department of Justice ultimately intercedes in the investigation and its ambitious U.S. Attorney issues an arrest warrant.
