| Plot Summary of What Goes Around |
|---|
"From Mombasa to Massachusetts, seemingly random accidents claim the lives of Scotland Yard and FBI detectives. All the victims had participated in destroying the Colorado-based criminal empire of Ensenada, a brilliant chemical engineer.
Ensenada is officially dead, but to certain Yard brass, the series of deaths cannot be a coincidence. As the lead member of the original investigative team, former MI6 officer, Jack Dyson is certain to be a key target and is enlisted to track down the cop killer.
Dyson discovers that Ensenada is indeed alive and secure in a new identity. Not content with revenge, he is rebuilding his decimated fortune through a revolutionary electronics production process that requires worldwide cornering of a rare metal, palladium. "
