Description: "The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Secretariat has estimated that 60% of the world's wealth is held in offshore shell companies, with many of them involved with sophisticated money-laundering networks. An international information bureau was establishd to track the millions of unseen and untouchable funds as they streamed through a constantly shifting, twisting, turning web of electronic media. To fight this financial fraud, a corporate lawyer joins forces with a mysterious person from the Isle of Man called The Manx Deemster, who is head of The Caine League - a unique group of altruists. The Manx Deemster is a fictional account of the unconventional detection methods undertaken to uncover the identities of criminals and their illegal activities, which remain hidden behind a carefully orchestrated veil of deceit."--Provided by publisher.
