SOUNDING DRUM by Larry Jay Martin - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK

Deep beneath Manhattan's teeming streets a startling discovery is unearthed - the written record of a land transfer between a colonial governor and a Native American tribe. High above Wall Street, where billions of dollars trade hands every day, one man sees the opportunity of a lifetime - an opportunity that can change the fate of a people, and the island of Manhattan forever.. "Steve Drum, known as Sounding Drum to his native peers, has made a life's journey to be in the right place and right time to take advantage of the find. Born into a native peoples' proud and tragic legacy, he worked his way off the impoverished Salish Reservation in Montana and into the highest ranks of an influential Wall Street law firm.. "Using tactics learned from the great warrior traditions of his people, Steve is poised to pull off the ultimate business coup. His plan: to secretly establish a Native American reservation on Manhattan Island, where he'll create the biggest gambling casino the world has ever seen - inside the city's crown jewel...a building that is the symbol of The Big Apple. Now he will not only risk everything he's fought to acquire, everything he aspires to be...but his very life.
