Coultrane is an action/adventure novel about a young executive in a sprawling, family-owned multinational company, a story of camaraderie but, also, a story of intrigue, corruption, greed and murder. Calvin Coultrane's quick fists and agile mind have made him the go-to man for any family member with a problem as well as the chief troubleshooter for the corporation. The family's confidence in his abilities has always been at odds with his reputation as the family rebel. When he stumbles across evidence of fraud, his attempts to investigate are met with scorn and anger by his father and older brother who view his work as criticism of their abilities. As he searches for evidence through the back streets and corridors of power in the mid-east, Brazil and the United States, from the nitty-gritty of the souk to the Country Club of his nouveau riche parents, from the formality of the board room to the swirling camaraderie and intrigue of the extended family he realizes the several near-misses he survived were, in fact, attempts on his life. Too soon, he must confront his family at a board meeting with disastrous results.
