About the Book

The Adventures of Juan Planchard

The bestselling wild, fast-paced ride through sex, drugs, revolution, and the morally gray hustle of a man who dares to game the system that destroyed his country --- it's The Wolf of Wall Street meets Scarface.

"My name is Juan Planchard. I’m 29 years old, and I have five million dollars in my account. I own a house in Caracas, another in Madrid and a high-rise apartment in New York. I run a sportsbook at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. I share a private jet with a friend’s frontman. And I’m convinced --- down to my bones --- that every decision I made during the revolution was the right one. My descendants will thank me.”

So begins THE ADVENTURES OF JUAN PLANCHARD, the story of a middle-class nobody turned millionaire by weaponizing the very corruption that swallowed Venezuela. He dines with oligarchs, sleeps with models, and navigates a world where power is the only currency --- and morality is a luxury no one can afford. 

But in the middle of the chaos, greed and blood money, Juan falls hard for Scarlet, a sharp, seductive American beauty who just might be his way out --- or his ultimate downfall.
