Bag om Pawns to Players: The Putin Gambit

In this third and final installment of the Chess Series billionaires William Bates and Solana Rothschild are determined to enact a real world chess match with the ultimate goal of taking down Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. They recruit chess master Garry Kasparov as consultant and prepare the board by placing agents with critical agencies and organizations: Interpol, the International Court of Justice, Russian intelligence, European financial institutions, the Bank of Cypress, Deutsche Bank and the Russian mob. Chief Inspector Jean Mogherini of Interpol emerges as the protagonist of the story. His grim determination, deductive intuition and investigative skill leads a team of attorneys, rebels, mobsters, detectives, assassins, spies and hackers on a path that will ultimately reveal the truth beneath the truth. The question is: Will Vladimir Putin survive the onslaught or will he have his bloody revenge? Pawns to Players offers a poignant metaphor for today's political and economic realities: There are forces at play that control our daily lives beyond our reckoning. From Chapter 21: It was more than chess now. It was real. It was life. It was as if all those conspiracy theories about the elite controlling the masses like a puppet master had been transformed into flesh and blood reality. Men like Putin and Medvedev loved to control the lives and fortunes of ordinary men and women. Now it was their turn to be manipulated and controlled. Now it was their turn to wonder why the gods had turned against them. Little did they suspect that forces greater than themselves were operating in the field of play. Hopefully they would never know.
