THE CONCORDIA PROTOCOLBook Three of the Concordia InitiativeA locked room in the Swiss Alps. A vote cast seven years ago that has never stopped haunting her. And a man patient enough to teach a monster everything he knew - and clever enough to never once appear in the case that finally convicted him.When a routine certification review of a multinational trade corridor turns up an eleven-year-old guarantor entity that should never have existed, Director Noa Reventlow of the Concordia Protocol suspects she's looking at nothing more than sloppy paperwork. She's wrong. What investigator Dana Shapira uncovers instead is the surviving architecture of the very network that took down financier Damien Vasseur years earlier - proof that Vasseur was never the mastermind everyone believed him to be, but the finest student of a man who has spent a lifetime staying invisible.As Dana and her newest recruit, forensic accountant Priya Andrade, trace a web of shell entities, disposable law firms, and quietly compromised officials across five jurisdictions, they close in on a name that was never supposed to surface: Thaddeus Reinholt. Genteel, cultured, and utterly convinced that what he's built is a method, not a crime - Reinholt has spent eleven years perfecting the art of buying trust between nations who have every reason not to trust each other at all.But catching the architect is only the beginning. His method didn't die with his capture. It evolved - and somewhere between a mountain valley in Valais and a ship's concealed hold in the Suez Canal, Dana's team discovers that the fight they thought they'd won was never the whole war.Combining the meticulous financial tradecraft of a Michael Connelly courtroom thriller with the globe-spanning stakes of a Daniel Silva espionage novel, The Concordia Protocol is a story about the quiet, patient architecture of corruption - and the people brave enough, book after book, to keep tearing it down.Fans of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor will find a new series to devour.
