Interior clean and unmarked; promotional bookmark laid in.  ‘With Quebec separatists poised to win the referendum, the Canadian economy is in free fall, and the Yankees are coming to plunder lucrative industries.  Although American financier Benoit Lefebvre disagrees with the ethics, he acts as point man on a massive takeover raid for a U.S. consortium.  His instructions are to avoid the ensuing political mess.  But as he reacquaints himself with old friends – influential Canadians from both sides of the cultural divide – he comes to understand the forces fueling their passions.  His meddling results in tumultuous consequences.’ (from rear wrap)
