What if there was a way for the disillusioned super-rich to end it all in style?
At the luxurious Bohemian Sports Club in St James’s, London’s jaded young men feast and swill fine wines as though tomorrow will never come. And for the one who draws the ‘Death Card’ that night, it never will.
When a wealthy English playboy dies in suspicious circumstances in Panama City, Lloyd’s claims adjuster and former Royal Marines Commando, Ben Makepeace, is sent to investigate the fifty million dollar insurance claim on the dead man’s life. Joining forces with Laura Newman, the grieving sister of one of the Club’s members, Ben must elude his own demons as well as the lethal Peruvian assassin, El Pishtaco, to uncover a secret of evolution that has been hidden through the centuries- and the prey that the Club stalks across the world.
As they pursue the truth through the narrow streets of Cartagena de Indias and deep into the Colombian jungle, Ben and Laura discover that the Club’s members know it by a different name: The Billionaire Suicide Club. Caught in the middle of an existential battle, they are forced to confront what it means to be human- and to be alive. With the body-count mounting up, they race to save the secretive Firestarters, before the Club can hunt them down. But how do you escape from an enemy with infinite resources, for whom despair is power, and death is a way of life? Who can you trust, when the stakes are so high? And who is the mysterious Suicide King?
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s gripping suite of short stories, The Suicide Club, this fast-paced, contemporary technological thriller combines the opulence of the London elite with the world-weariness, danger and style of film noir. The Billionaire Suicide Club is more than a club. And no one leaves it alive.
