Jean de Richemont could hardly believe he survived the near crash. Just as he'd reached Morocco the oil pressure gauge in his Embraer Phenom has started to spiral out of control. He had managed to use all his skills to safely land at some derelict airport, which looked more like an abandoned dirt strip than a runway. Jean knew Robert Wells had begun his coup and the time had come to go underground. Robert Wells had spent his life second best to his mother's drinks, his father's women even his wife preferred her dogs to his company. He knew he was a man with little to offer other than the good fortune of being born into a very old Swiss watch making dynasty. Robert Wells was rich and very bored! He was not a young man, and had spent a lifetime living as a playboy while waiting for his chance to rise within the brotherhood known only to Switzerland's elite. He would be damned if young Jean de Richemont claims his right as leader. Eva Spears-de Richemont was the blue-collar Boston born wife of one of the world's richest men. His eyes so pale and ethereal captured her heart and soul. Eva had blissfully married Jean and had his children then the reality of what she had married into began to unravel. A life built on secrets. Tensions from within this clandestine Swiss group spilled into her family, almost destroying her. Just when she thought she might be able to break away from the stranglehold of the brotherhood, Jean goes missing. In a picture perfect Swiss mountain village, a group of men gather and plot. Their decisions act as blueprint for world economies, they are a shadow government. Blood to blood their lineage is always a calculated equation insuring that Switzerland prospers. They are sons of Switzerland, the discrete, the powerful - the Helvetikans.
