Citizen Lansky

By Rob Gruen

Five years before the Egyptian Revolution, media mogul Billy Lansky and his prot g , Charlie Cardinal, no sooner arrive in Cairo to join an archaeological dig in search of an alleged chamber beneath the Sphinx, when they are abducted by jihadis wielding AK-47s. An international philanthropist, Lansky is known to his captors, but exactly why he and his young assistant face beheading remains a mystery. Radical Islamists say the Sphinx is sacrosanct. Will the Americans be sacrificed in reprisal? Or are the terrorists working with a Western power to bring Lansky down? To save millions of lives from famine and disease, he weaved an intricate web of the private-sector elite- billionaire altruists, heads of progressive NGOs, celebrated fund managers, and power geniuses-in such formidable philanthropy that governments see their sovereignty threatened and go after him. Or do they? "Citizen Lansky" is a satirical, fast-paced intrigue spanning five continents.
