Eric Martin is desperate to forget his past, one that almost cost him
his future. Three years ago, he discovered that the investment firm he worked
for was run by a terrorist organization determined to get its hands on a
predictive algorithm that promised unsurpassed success in global financial
markets. Although he was able to stop the terrorists from getting the algorithm,
he nearly sacrificed his life to do so.
Now working in Paris as deputy head of a bank’s internal security
department, Eric notices a high-speed trader’s uncanny ability to predict
extremely profitable trades. Even though there’s nothing overtly illegal about
the activity, Eric can’t help but feel the trader’s success is more than just
luck. Yet, no one believes him. Armed with just a handful of data and a
powerful instinct, Eric searches for the mysterious trader on his own. He soon
suspects that the same predictive algorithm he fought so hard to protect has
fallen into the wrong hands. Eric sets off to Istanbul to find answers promised to him by a less than
forthcoming informant. He finds an unlikely ally in Interpol agent Stephanie
Brulé, but is adamant about completing his mission alone. With Interpol
determined to get him back to Paris and out of the way, the sudden appearances
of his ex-lover, a boss he’s not sure he can trust, and a terrorist who always
seems one step ahead, Eric’s quest for justice is hampered at every turn.
When the trader’s accomplices detect his presence in Istanbul, Eric
finds himself visiting the underground cities of Cappadocia—with gun-toting
terrorists as his travel guides.
Will Eric finally put an end, once and for all, to the nightmare that
began when he hastily accepted a job that was too good to be true? Or will his
need for revenge and justice lead him deeper into a dangerous world he cannot
escape?
