The world economy is in freefall. Mass unemployment and hunger rage as banks, corporations and countries go bankrupt. But one group are doing just fine: the super-rich. Nobel prize-winning economist Herbert Thompson drives to a summit in Berlin, to deliver his ground-breaking solution to the world's elite. Thompson never arrives. Killed in a car crash on the way. Jan, a cyclist out late, sees the incident. Convinced Thompson has been murdered, he vows to find out why. Tense, thrilling, timely.
