Ripe
for the Picking by Terrence Rundle West
Quebec separatists
are poised to win the referendum, the Canadian economy is in free
fall, and the Yankees are coming to plunder lucrative industries.
Although American financier Benoit Lefebvre disagrees with the ethics,
he acts as point man on a massive takeover raid for a U.S. consortium.
His instructions are to avoid the ensuing political mess. But as
he reacquaints himself with old friends- influential Canadians from
both sides of the cultural divide- he comes to understand the forces
fueling their passions. His meddling results in tumultuous consequences.
