(Audiobook CD)

Compact disc.

Read by Dylan Moore.

Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five star hotel on the northern most tip of Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don't you swallow broken glass. Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for Neptune-Avramidis, reads the words and orders a drink to calm down. Alkaitis, is the owner of the hotel and a wealthy investment manager, arrives too late to read the threat, never knowing it was intended for him. He leaves Vincent a hundred-dollar tip along with his business card, and a year later they are living together as husband and wife. High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis is running an international Ponzi scheme, moving imaginary sums of money through clients accounts. He hold the life savings of an artist named Olivia Collins, the fortune of a Saudi prince and his extended family, and counties retirement funds, including Leon Prevant's. The collapse of the financial empire is as swift as it is devastating, obliterating fortunes and lives, white Vincent walk-away into the night. Until, years later, she step's aboard a Neptune-Avramidis vessel, the Neptune Cumberland,and disappears from the ship between port of call.
