About this ebook

In the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance, where money flows like water, there's a sinister undercurrent that only a select few can perceive. What money can't buy, murder can.

Billionaire Zachary Barron's currency hedge fund is bleeding money, thanks to an elusive thief. Determined to bring the perpetrator to justice, he enlists the services of Katerina "Kat" Carter, a forensic accountant renowned for her white-collar crime investigative skills. Little do they know, their quest for justice will lead to a chilling revelation – the thief is none other than Zachary's own father, Nathan.

But Nathan is just the tip of the iceberg.

Nathan is entangled with a clandestine organization of unparalleled influence, with tendrils that reach every corner of the globe. They've infiltrated the banking industry and media, but their ultimate ambition is the destabilization of the global currency market, paving the way for a new world order.

Kat stands as the sole obstacle in their path. Yet, as the organization becomes aware of her involvement, a menacing warning arrives. Others who dared to thwart their plans have met grisly fates, and Kat knows she's next. A choice looms before her – walk away and forever fear the shadows or fight back, making herself and her loved ones targets or even potential traitors.

For Kat Carter, the mantra is clear: the greater the risk, the greater the reward. This is a gamble with no safety net, and it's an all-or-nothing game. Who will dare to join her?

Ratings and reviews

fraud, Alzheimer-victim, embezzling, international-crime-and-mystery, thriller Her mother, and now her uncle were struck down with the horror that is Alzheimer's, and Kat is afraid of losing her supportive lover the way her own father ran out on them. Enter a high profile divorce case which leads to investigation of embezzlement, high finance machinations, and world finance manipulation. Add in a psychopathic killer who turns out to be Kat's cousin and you have the complex thriller that is this book which drew me in and kept me reading! Great stuff! I have the audio narrated by Petrea Burchard who excels in this multifaceted read. I requested and much to my delight received a free audio copy of this book. Thank you!

I am reading this book now. I just finished the prequel (Exit Strategy) yesterday and this book is just as good. It is so good I will probably finish it in 3 or 4 days because I won't be able to put it down!

Editing terrible, main characters not well established, interesting plot with too many odd add on sentences. Fraud storyline was intelligent. The poisoning not so much.The dementia /alzheimer situation would've been better if dealt with in more medical depth. She had no help. One non -cop? A forensic accountant would have friends other than one lawyer, hopefully at the government level. Epilogue poor.
