I probably couldn’t summarize the plot any better than one of the characters does: Your premise is that the economic health of the world is under attack. Its only defense is an Aborigine, a society woman and a dog?
The society woman is Jaspar Moran, whose husband is the US Treasury Secretary. Within minutes of learning her children are kidnapped she learns his plane has crash and he is presumed dead. The kidnappers are only keeping the children alive because they believe Jaspar knows what her husband recently learned: Someone is manipulating the US President into enacting economic stimulus plans that will eventually lead to the collapse of this country, and others.
A friend of a friend introduces her to the Aborigine and the dog, who teach her a sort of guerilla warfare that will be needed to save her children, and clear the name of her husband, who is now being used as a scapegoat in a financial scandal.
Jaspar’s love of her family, and her strong faith, lead to her to do things she admits she would have never done before. Some of the action – hers and the Aborigine Nulandi’s – are over-the-top but that’s one of the things that makes “Jaspar’s War” such a fun read.

I received a copy of “Jaspar’s War” from the publisher in preparation for my interview with the author, which you can hear right here on Tuesday.
