The narrative follows Alexandra King, a determined investigative journalist, as she unearths an elaborate conspiracy that threatens to destabilise the global economy. In a race against time and formidable adversaries, Alexandra is forced to confront her own past while pursuing the truth. As she delves deeper into the labyrinthine web of lies spun by a powerful corporation, she discovers secrets that not only challenge her profession but also her moral convictions.

The narrative is peppered with unexpected twists and turns, ensuring that readers remain captivated until the very last page. Perfect for fans of political thrillers and investigative dramas, this novel not only entertains but also sparks reflection on the nature of power and the cost of truth in a world increasingly dominated by corporate interests.
