Detalles del libro
In the age of cryptocurrencies sometimes one wrong digit is all it takes!
Ben Brennan, star trader with Solarbanc, seems to have it all: living in the mountains of Andorra, he and his girlfriend Elisa seem to have chosen the perfect country for family life. But all this is put at risk when Ben leaves a major trading position open over the same weekend an unforeseeable black swan event hits, hugely distorting financial markets.
Worse still, on that same trade he has committed a “fat finger”, the accidental addition of an extra zero that multiplies everything by a factor of ten. The huge losses that result threaten to bring down his bank.
Ben starts to piece together the existence of a Machiavellian plan: the bank’s biggest client Igor Orlov is the front for a Russian FSB plot to gain control of Solarbanc, introduce a cryptocurrency and use it to help destabilise and divide Catalonia, Spain and beyond it, Europe itself.
On one side is the full, subversive might of the Russian state. On the other a lone trader fighting for his life and the future of everything he holds dear.
This fast-paced thriller uncannily reflects events currently taking place all over Europe.
