Dead Hedge is a satire. It is a fictitious novel, but based on a real case. It portrays the corruption and criminality prevalent in the global banking system today. It is the story of Cleopatra and how she and her shipping company were manipulated and cheated by powerful forces that reached into the High Courts and even governments. How Cleo was defrauded and then persecuted when she tried to expose the truth. It is not the end of the story and a sequel is pending. There is interest in a feature film based on Dead Hedge and Cleopatra's fight for justice in a corrupt world where the courts are routinely used to silence individuals.
