Democratic President Earl Eastwood seeks re-election against the formidable Connecticut Governor Sophia Kallias, a Republican moderate with winning appeal to the critical independent vote. A unifi ed Third World infl uenced by China offers him the "global presidency" at the United Nations, if he loses the US race. Eastwood's dependency on China curdles his loyalties. He needs China's endorsement for the UN job. And Chinese foreign investment is the only viable source of job growth in a badly recessed US economy. The Chinese recruit the fi nancial wizardry of Swiss-based Nikos Rallis to fashion a Swiss-Brazilian network of equity funds. The network launders US investments of Chinese-owned Brazilian companies. They covertly acquire control of Canadian and US shale oil and gas stakes and their pipeline conduits. The network then infi ltrates critical US defense technology sources. Eastwood, a brilliant political tactician and the fi rst African-American president, must act forcefully as he learns of the Chinese scheme. His rigid, West Point ethics are challenged by ambition, and his complicated romantic life.

Irma Dahl har nettopp realisert sitt livs drøm om å starte eget begravelsesbyrå. Hun bestemmer seg for å fylle et hull i markedet, og satse på en ny nisje: Festlige begravelser. Hvorfor ikke feire livet til den som går bort heller enn å sørge over det? Den siste festen AS tilbyr askeraketter og festlige begravelseslåter. Problemet er at folk ikke ser ut til å forstå konseptet. Irma må ty til til uortodokse metoder for å promotere byrået, noe som fører henne opp i etiske dilemmaer og absurde situasjoner. Boken er en frittstående oppfølger til «Irma Dahl: Den dedikerte begravelsesagenten»
