The Expatriate: A Novel

Mac Macleod always assumed that the grandiose dreams he fulfilled would define his life, that he would live on past his time. Not on a Napoleonic scale, but in terms of companies and factories built, workers employed, generations educated, all that wonderful-sounding stuff. But now he's not so sure. And all it takes to turn his world upside down is a kidnapped 15-year-old daughter and a ridiculous princessly ransom of $200.
