Local author Alan Tonks has republished his novel The St. Kitts Connection and has also written a screenplay for the book.
The St. Kitts Connection is set in Wellington in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is an exhilarating financial thriller that masterfully weaves together high-stakes banking, international crime and political intrigue.
Based on real-life events, this gripping novel offers readers a rare glimpse into the shadowy underbelly of offshore banking and its ties to global corruption.
Tonks spent most of his career in the banking business, holding various top management positions in Maryland and Florida financial institutions. The book is inspired by his personal experiences.
The story, set in Wellington, follows a young commercial banker who, after being unceremoniously fired from his high-ranking position in a Florida bank, stumbles upon an unexpected opportunity. Offered a lucrative role managing the real estate and banking operations of a pair of Canadian developers, he soon finds himself entangled in a web of illicit financial dealings, drug smuggling and arms trading. What starts as a promising new beginning quickly spirals into a dangerous conspiracy that spans international borders and could affect the outcome of India’s national elections.
The St. Kitts Connection is available on Amazon.com.
