Shuffling the Deck

Patrick and James Coleman, dynamic, handsome and rich 29 year old identical twins, are poised to take over Coleman, Sons & Co. from their seventy year old father, Christopher when the dramatic changes in the ownership of the world's wealth, the historical struggle between Christianity and Islam, and heightened competition for the world's energy resources prevent them from doing so. Christopher Coleman, aided by his sons leads the defense of the firm against three leading financial advisors and their ultra rich MIddle East clients who ban together to challenge the Colemans for leadership in global funds management. However, the Coleman's prove to be a more difficult target than was anticipated and the three advisors and their Arab backers find themselves locked in a struggle for survival not only with the Colemans and their clients but also with the Christian unity movement lead by his Eminence Cardinal Alfonso Gilardini, the Head of the Vatican Bank and his brilliant niece, Gabriele Dietrich, the heiress to one of Germany's greatest fortunes.
