About This Book
Forensic accountant Elias Ward discovers a ghost entry buried deep in a multinational merger's financials. What starts as a routine audit spirals into a deadly conspiracy involving offshore accounts without paper trails and phantom companies designed to bury secrets. To survive, he must outmaneuver a powerful secret organization that wants the ledger permanently balanced — and Elias permanently silenced.
Editorial Review
“A masterfully layered financial thriller that transforms forensic accounting into edge-of-your-seat suspense. Rivers builds tension like a ticking clock — every chapter peels back another layer of the conspiracy.”
Perfect for: Readers who love corporate intrigue and protagonists who outsmart powerful enemies.
