Round Swap is a contemporary, fast paced trilogy. The action moves between the City of London, Zurich, São Paulo, New York and Milan. It is about fraud, greed, multi million deals and the differences in behaviour between ruthless men and very smart women.

Pedro, a clever Brazilian businessman, is sent to London to check his Uncle’s coffee trading company. He accepts the undercover work but he did not expect to uncover an international fraud, least of all to fall in love with Isabel, a shy, Irish doctor, suffering in the hands of an abusive husband.

Once the scam is uncovered, the men plot to catch the dishonest traders and recoup their money. Meanwhile, Janet, Pedro’s eccentric sexagenarian Aunt, leads the women.

The tone changes to humorous as the women start their stealth, underhand operation. Through several hilarious and covert schemes, they succeed in taking revenge on the dishonest men, recovering the missing money and, of course, denying all accountability for their handiwork.
