CLAVE

Max Stonecrop, a venture capitalist turned courier, and Federica Ratzow-physician, polyglot, and Stonecrop's lover-become engaged in an escalating imbroglio that starts with a comedic Zurich counterfeit cheese scandal and leads to illegal e-waste trade and sex trafficking. Complications compound as Stonecrop deals with the unexpected arrival in Zurich of his daughters and rumors about a man Stonecrop had murdered in Maputo.
