""My name is Juan Planchard. I'm twenty-nine years old, and I have five million dollars in my account. I own a house in Caracas, another in Madrid, and a high-rise apartment in New York. I run a sportsbook at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. I share a private jet with a friend's frontman. And I'm convinced-down to my bones-that every decision I made during the revolution was the right one. My descendants will thank me." So begins The Adventures of Juan Planchard, the story of a middle-class nobody turned millionaire by weaponizing the very corruption that swallowed Venezuela. He dines with oligarchs, sleeps with models, and navigates a world where power is the only currency-and morality is a luxury no one can afford. But in the middle of the chaos, greed, and blood money, Juan falls hard for Scarlet, a sharp, seductive American beauty who just might be his way out-or his ultimate downfall"-- Provided by publisher.
