The Bank

Behind the polished façade of a respected bank lies a deadly web of secrets.

When Saskia van Essen, a sharp and determined financial investigator, uncovers irregularities at the Friendly Society Bank, she expects resistance - not danger. But as she digs deeper into the institution's shadowy dealings, Saskia draws Interpol's attention and becomes entangled in uncovering a high-stakes conspiracy involving corruption, cybercrime, and ruthless criminals who will stop at nothing to protect their power.

Accused of murder and drawn ever deeper into the investigation, Saskia must rely on her intelligence and resilience to expose the truth before the conspiracy closes in. Every discovery pulls her further into a world where money buys silence, loyalty is lethal, and trust can be fatal.

Fast-paced, gripping, and chillingly plausible, The Bank is a smart financial thriller that reveals how easily greed can corrupt-and how dangerous it can be to challenge the system.
