Asian financial markets teeter on a crisis as a man's lost love appears in Hong Kong

Crisis Deluxe

Chris Coffman

Chris Coffman lived in Australia for many years where he raised three children, worked as an global investment banker, and started one of Australia's best wine companies. He was in Hong Kong in 1998 and the romance at the heart of the book is based on a real relationship with the love of his life. They are about to get married.

An investment banker gets a phone call one morning while in Buenos Aires and is ordered to Hong Kong to try and save a deal as global financial markets collapse. If he saves the deal he may just stop the Asian Financial Crisis. Once he arrives he is surprised to find he must either help or destroy an old rival, a choice that seems clear until he meets again, for the first time in twenty years, the love of his life. What should he do? Will he do his duty--to his family, this partners, the financial markets, and the world--or will he allow his personal desires to influence his professional decision?

Any intelligent high school or college-educated person interested in Asia, the financial markets, romance, or the choices human beings have to make under enormous stress.
