The Gilded Witness

Eleanor Vance never wanted to see what happened on the fourteenth floor of Halberd Capital. A quiet forensic accountant with a talent for noticing discrepancies others overlook, Eleanor keeps her head down, her ledger clean, and her eyes on the spreadsheets, until the morning the firm's enigmatic founder is found dead in his glass-walled office, and Eleanor is the last person to have entered the room. When corporate fixer Marcus Whitfield arrives to contain the fallout, and investigative journalist Diane Sorrell begins sniffing around the case, Eleanor realizes the death was no accident. A cryptic message from an insider known only as The Whistleblower pulls her into a web of offshore accounts, buried ledgers, and secrets worth billions. Her sister Clara urges her to run. Her mentor Miriam Quigley warns her to trust no one. And someone with intimate knowledge of her every move is watching. As evidence begins to vanish and witnesses start to recant, Eleanor must choose between the safe silence she's always known and the dangerous truth that could destroy the powerful men who built this gilded empire, or destroy her.
