The Elijah Trilogy Book Three - Graham Anderson - Bog

Having been forced to leave the United States by Senator McCarthy and J Edgar Hoover, Elijah returns to his beloved estancia in the remote Argentine Pampas to lick his wounds. From there he plots his return to power, and his retribution. Entering the armaments trade, he supplies both sides in the Six Day War along with uranium to South Africa, becomes involved in the Australian mining boom, and organises for his employees to be rescued from the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. Vehemently intolerant of drugs, when he discovers one of his closest confidantes has become a supplier against his explicit instructions, he views this as the ultimate betrayal him. A complex character as his many wives and children can attest to, Elijah has not yet played his last hand. As the tension mounts, so too do the rivalries and hatred as Elijah's children restlessly await his death and their share of his wealth. For them the waiting has already stretched far too long, as finally the day dawns for the reading of Elijah's Will.
