Publisher's summary

A heart-pounding journey into the seedy underbelly of global banking, "Ledgers of Power: The Silent Assassin" is set in a world where morality is a luxury and power are the ultimate currency.

Meet Ethan: he's young, he's smart, and he's just on the cusp of a successful career. He is the epitome of a genius and a person who was destined for great things in life. Ethan finds himself thrust into the exhilarating world of high stakes finance after being recruited by the industry titan Veridical Solutions. There, he is trained to become an Economic Hit Man, a silent assassin who carries not a gun but a briefcase; one whose ammunition is not bullets but loans and contracts; and whose battlefield is not war-torn streets but the boardrooms of power and the economies of vulnerable nations.

Ethan, however, discovers a horrifying truth that lies behind the surface of his prosperity and authority. He transforms himself into a puppeteer, and the fates of nations and the lives of innumerable innocent people are pulled by the threads he controls. As he delves deeper into this shadowy realm, he watches the brutal intrigues of multinational companies, the tacit cooperation of corrupt governments, and the gut-wrenching collateral damage perpetrated by his own acts. This causes him to question the morality of his decisions.

A discovery causes Ethan to have a crisis of conscience, which in turn sets off a perilous transformation in the character of Ethan. He goes from being a loyal soldier of money to becoming a rebellious maverick who is determined to expose the shady business that is economic warfare. He is determined to blow the whistle on the clandestine company. Ethan is now considered a wanted criminal in the world that he formerly dominated. The hunter has become the prey.

His goal is to shed light on the less desirable aspects of globalization, which puts him in direct conflict with the most powerful people in business. Ethan is in a hopeless situation in which he stands to lose everything, and he is engaged in a lethal game of cat and mouse with opponents who are as vicious as they are strong.

"Ledgers of Power: The Silent Assassin" is a high-octane roller coaster ride that takes you to the lowest depths of corporate avarice and the highest heights of human bravery. The ride is a must-see for everyone who enjoys high-stakes adventures. Will Ethan be able to make it through this potentially deadly game? Or will the very system he works to expose end up consuming him and destroying his life? The delicate power dynamic is going to be put to the test, and the stakes have never been higher than they are right now.
