Politics

Yvan De Wiel, banquier privé genevois, se rend dans une Argentine en pleine dictature pour remplacer son associé, objet des rumeurs les plus inquiétantes, qui a disparu du jour au lendemain. Entre salons feutrés, piscines et jardins sous surveillance, un duel à distance entre deux banquiers qui, malgré des méthodes différentes, sont les complices d'une forme de colonisation discrète et impitoyable.
