The Phantom Ledger (en Inglés) - J.D Rivers

The Audit is dead. But a ghost survived.

Three weeks after the catastrophic destruction of the Audit - a 192-node global surveillance system hidden inside the world's financial infrastructure - forensic accountant Elias Ward is hiding in an Icelandic fishing cabin, trying to make sense of what happened. The world is reeling. Banks are running on paper ledgers. Withdrawal limits are in effect across every major economy. Trust in the global financial system has shattered.

But Elias knows the real danger isn't the collapse. It's what comes next.

A ghost node - Node 193 - survived the destruction. Someone built a lifeboat before the flood, and that someone now controls fourteen billion dollars in Bitcoin and the schematics for a secret lunar facility that has been operational since 1987. When a hidden USB drive surfaces containing research that could expose the shadowy organization known as the Foundation, Elias is pulled into a conspiracy that stretches from the volcanic shores of Iceland to the streets of Zurich and beyond.

With former intelligence operative Elena Vasquez at his side and a growing network of off-grid operatives who exist in no database, Elias must follow a trail of dead letters, phantom companies, and encrypted ledgers to uncover the truth - before the architects of the old system build something far worse from its ashes.

The Phantom Ledger is the explosive second installment in The Ledger of Lies series. A white-knuckle financial thriller where the numbers never lie, but the people behind them will kill to keep the books balanced.

Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Daniel Silva, and anyone who believes the most dangerous secrets are hidden in the spreadsheets.
