The Briefcase - Hardcover

Laughton Donnell Fairchild, Donnie, is a family man, a decorated war veteran, and he wants his past to remain where it belongs. He is CEO of Fairchild Interests Ltd., the rising star of the high-tech industry world, but his jealous joint venture partner, David Street, a mathematical genius, wants to literally destroy him and steal some long-lost enigmatic documents Donnie has. Mercenaries hired by David fail to kill Donnie and his wife, so on a fateful day two years later, David tries again, this time using a renowned assassin who also wants personal revenge against Donnie. A murderous consortium which is led by a corrupt, power-hungry politician wants to nationalize Donnie's company to get exclusive control over those documents for herself. Blinded by hubris, lust for revenge, and greed, these formidable enemies act with impunity and will use anyone and anything to achieve their goals.

He hatches an intricate plan that requires putting Alexa at the forefront, but it's not enough. He knows she can't do this alone. Enter three people whose own redemption came at the hands of Donnie.
