The Money Machine

Grant Jackson's ski holiday in St. Moritz with Kristina and his daughter Sophie is shattered when they run into Hannah, a journalist from Grant's past. She's tracking a mysterious figure known only as Rasputin-a master manipulator who destabilizes global markets using deepfakes, fake news, doctored data, and synthetic voices. As financial crises ripple across the world, Hannah believes Rasputin is preparing his most destructive move yet-and she's in danger for knowing too much.
Grant steps in, uncovering a vast web of front companies and crypto shells. With Rasputin's empire on the brink of collapse, Grant races to stop him before another exchange implodes. But Rasputin vanishes, and the threat seems to pass-until Sir Geoffrey Gascoigne calls Grant back into action.
This time, the stakes are geopolitical. A faction inside China is considering a bold pivot: instead of invading Taiwan, they aim to secure Siberia's vast mineral wealth. But Thule's hidden operator, Morpheus, wants war-and will do anything to provoke it.
With Jane, the sentient AI, and new Chinese allies, Grant must act fast to prevent a global catastrophe. But stopping a war may be even harder than starting one.
