Description "In her small, yet secure high-rise office, Bea Pontifec could be anywhere. Thanks to the spread of global communication, she is everywhere. Prowling the room like a power-suited spider, she juggles despots, dignitaries and diplomatic affairs in tandem with a drug-addled son, a new-age daughter and a two-timing partner. The world at large patches in to seek her advice on a tense cauldron of upheaval involving half a dozen nations, and this PR consultant will be damned if she's going to let anything, or anyone, upset her carefully woven world; not the African Dictator or the US President."
