While on assignment in Africa, New York investigative journalist
Mark Reynolds learns of a disaster in Nigeria. He is the first
foreign journalist to arrive at the site of an industrial chemical
leak that has killed hundreds. Digging through a cover of foreign
subsidiaries, Reynolds learns that the principal shareholder of the
industrial chemical plant is a large U.S.-based corporation,
Martinelli Global, Inc. MGI fits perfectly as the poster child for
Reynolds' series of articles on the negative consequences of
globalization. But the low profile MGI is much more than just
another aggressive multinational corporation doing business in
developing countries. MGI has for decades invested in operations in
some of the world's riskiest places to do business using corruption
as their business model. To mask their illegal activities from
Western regulatory scrutiny, they have structured a Byzantine web
of foreign subsidiary corporations and offshore tax-haven shell
companies. Parallel to these illicit business dealings is the real
possibility that MGI-affiliated operations may be involved in a
nuclear weapons proliferation scheme involving Iran. As Reynolds
probes deeper, MGI retaliates with its considerable power and
influence. The intimidation and violence ratchet up- ward,
threatening Reynolds and those helping him.
