The Benevolent World Banker

In this work of contemporary political fiction, economist David Pedersen moves from Denmark to Washington, D.C. to join the World Bank. He is driven by two burning ambitions: to fight poverty and to build a family better than the one from his childhood.

The World Bank brings genuine rewards, frustrating challenges, and the unexpected; while in West Africa, he is held hostage for ransom.

With surprising twists, pursuing an ethical, happy life becomes a balancing act also including passionate love, exciting sexual experimentation, tragic loss, culture wars, and domestic terror making him run to save his life.
