A chilling preview in what could be America's economic future, The Lions' Den pits the powerful Saudi Royal family against a lone, little-known Wall Street figure. The story begins in a Saudi Arabian palace where the Grand Prince and the Royal Family are locked in a desperate battle against time to transfer their power and protect their great fortunes-and their very lives-from the fundamentalist revolution in Saudi Arabia that threatens their survival. They unleash a clandestine plot to gain a major foothold in the United States by acquiring majority interest in America's flagship companies with the help of Wall Street rogues. The President of the United Broadcasting System gets wind of the plot and decides to break it wide open with a live nationally televised prime time documentary intended to spark a federal investigation, giving the assignment to a young, recently-widowed producer, Julie Chambers. Seeking help from Wall Street, Julie finds an unlikely defender of the American system, Mario Monelli, a Mergers and Acquisitions expert at a prestigious investment banking house, pitting him against his long time Wall Street nemesis, Barton Mulvaney, rumored to have shadowy ties to the Royal family. Mario is nervous about the idea, and whether he has the pedigree to challenge Bart. But he's also falling in love with Julie and uses the opportunity to be around her. Mario also heads up the Zoo Crew, a wild bunch of investment bankers who lack the breeding and education of their colleagues-but not the brains-and have dedicated themselves to helping beleaguered companies fend off corporate raiders. They are also champion carousers, who've built themselves a remarkable private sanctuary-The Lion's Den-so that they can freely indulge their most hedonistic desires, under the radar of Wall Street's harsh politically correct climate. When both worlds collide, Mario faces trouble on all sides. He watches his entire world come apart.
