(When the cell phone market soars late in the Twentieth Ce...)
When the cell phone market soars late in the Twentieth Century, incredible profits are assured for investors in any cell phone corporations. Two Mafia families, Villario from America and Ficuzza from Sicily, seize the opportunity and invest heavily in Svenska, the largest producer of cell phones. The families then join forces to balloon their profits by instigating a horrific sequence of actions that transfers Svenska's major source of microchips from a Maltese company to one in California. Malta's economy is shaken to the core, and the shock waves reverberate across the Mediterranean to Baladrar on Spain's Costa Blanca where Kate and Marty Boyd have resettled to escape the wrath of Luca Villario, Kate's father. The two Americans and their Anglo-Saxon friends are abruptly caught in the eye-of-the-storm with the FBI and Spain's Guardia Civil on one side and the Mafia families on the other.

(When Bernie Villario, son of a Mafia family based in Conn...)
When Bernie Villario, son of a Mafia family based in Connecticut and New York, decides to re-enter the U.S. narcotics market despite the fact that all Mafia families except two have been out of drugs for years, he needs an adequate supply of heroin. This requires convincing a Union Corse family with heroin processing labs in southern France to work with him. Villario selects a highly respected U.C. family and uses a dangerous ploy which threatens to explode into a war between the families. At the same time Villario starts pressuring feisty Tom Matthews and his Tampa-based travel agency. The agency's success is the second piece to Villario's elaborate plan. However, although Matthews refuses to bend even in the face of vicious attacks on his agency and its European tours, he finally realizes that fighting a foe who appears only through a polished intermediary is futile. Frustrated and desperate, Matthews turns to the FBI and the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Throughout Villario's attacks, Tom leans more and more on his knowledgeable Hispanic secretary, Maria Escobar, and as the battle moves from Tampa through Europe to the Middle East and back, Maria and he are drawn into an intense, intimate love affair which drives him into decisions he never anticipated.The fast-paced conclusion which involves Matthews, the feds, the Villarios, and the Union Corse is headed toward a disaster of magnificent proportions, especially when Matthews and the feds unknowingly work at cross-purposes.
