NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A man seeking justice for the murder of his father becomes entangled in a conspiracy larger than he thought possible in this “compelling, suspenseful, [and] fast-paced” (San Francisco Chronicle) financial thriller.

“A brilliant thriller that holds you in a vise grip from its first page to its last.”—James Patterson

A job he shouldn't have taken. A woman he shouldn't have loved. A secret he shouldn't expose . . . if he wants to live.

Nick Neumann has it all: a Harvard degree, a beautiful fiancée, a star-making Wall Street career. But behind the dazzling veneer of his golden boy exterior is a man haunted by the brutal killing of his father seventeen years before.

Now chilling new evidence has implicated his father's employer, the United Swiss Bank, in the crime. Nick doesn't know how. Or why. But he has a plan to find out: move to Zurich. Work for the same bank. Follow in his father's footsteps. Look for the same secrets . . . and uncover something so shocking, so unexpected, justice may not be enough.

For as a circle of treachery tightens around him, as a woman with secrets of her own enters his life, Nick makes another chilling discovery. Not just about his father but about himself. And how far he's willing to go to find out what happened seventeen years before—when a man died and a conspiracy was born.
