Dr Max Hoffman is a legend. A brilliant physicist once employed on the Large Hadron Collider, he now uses a revolutionary and highly secret system of computer algorithms to trade on the world s financial markets. None of his rivals is sure how he does it, but somehow Hoffman s hedge fund based in Geneva to avoid tax and regulation generates astonishing returns for his investors. Then, late one night, in his mansion beside Lake Geneva, a deadly intruder disturbs Hoffman and his wife while they are asleep. Over the next 48 hours, as one mysterious event succeeds another, Hoffman must discover who is stalking him. The answer threatens to destroy not just him, but the entire financial system. Robert Harris s new thriller is every bit as compelling, controversial and darkly-imagined as his most recent contemporary novel, THE GHOST.
