Sean Stamos: The Manchurian Market (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998205434)

Natalia Volkov, a former Russian Olympic sailor, has reached the pinnacle of her career in business journalism. She has become one of the world's foremost experts in developing markets and market prediction research. She has just developed a market monitoring program that utilizes artificial intelligence to spot trends in active trading and trading algorithms which will predict the ups and downs of the market. The problem is that her program has uncovered the mother of all coordinated trading schemes that threatens to destroy the entire fabric of Western civilization as we know it. She enlists the help of her college confidante, Chip Merlin, and a rising star in the FBI and CIA, Sean Stamos, to bring to light the perpetrators of this incredible crime of the century. In doing so, she will reveal her own inner strengths that will enable her to focus on her priorities and shed the influence of her overbearing family. Set in the backdrop of America's Cup sailing on the Solent, the mountaintops of Switzerland, and the streets of Manhattan, this tale is one of adventure and the rising influence of women on the ancient, once male-dominated sport of sailing.
