A personal tragedy.  A corporate scandal.  An enemy that is capable of anything.

A nail-biting story for the fans of Wall Street, Margin Call, and John Grisham’s The Firm. Based on true events.

Zorah was five years old when her father killed her mother with an axe. Twenty-five years later, she is a highly successful consultant on the verge of closing the deal of her life. Until she receives a text message with the image of a bloody axe.

What does the message mean? Who knows about Zorah’s past? And is the timing accidental, or are Zorah’s private and business life inextricably linked? To answer her many questions, Zorah hires private detective Roelant. As the stakes rise, their collaboration is complicated by their strong mutual attraction. But is Roelant who he claims to be, or is he only putting Zorah in worse danger?

Floris Kleijne was inspired by the Klimop case, the largest court case of real estate fraud in Dutch history. With unrelenting tension and his own background in corporate consultancy, Kleijne tells the terrifying and utterly convincing story of a sector that is capable of anything.
