The Error Account

The Rogue Traders Series | Book 1

Singapore, 1992. Nick Raines runs the cleanest derivatives desk in Asia. London trusts him. His numbers are extraordinary. They're also fabricated.

Account 88888 is where the losses go. The trades that went wrong. The risks that got too large to explain. For three years, Nick holds it together through fabricated client mandates, doctored records, and explanations London accepts without asking the right questions.

Then an earthquake hits Kobe. The markets move. The hole becomes a crater.

Based on the true story of the collapse that destroyed Britain's oldest merchant bank, The Error Account is a financial thriller about the arithmetic of desperation — and the one number that couldn't be hidden forever.

Financial Thriller

Arcadia Family Capital

The Risk Tape Series | Book 1

One wrong number. $4.8 billion. Nine days.

On a Monday morning at 7:42 AM, Déclan Vane finds a $340 million discrepancy in an overnight margin summary. He reads every line. He catches things. This time, what he catches will cost him everything he's spent eleven years building.

Arcadia Family Capital is a family office running $104 billion in synthetic leverage across five prime brokers — and not one of those banks knows the full picture. Each has been given a different version of the truth, calibrated precisely to prevent the question that would expose everything.

When VistaCom Media Group announces a $3.2 billion secondary offering at a discount, the margin calls begin. And when Arcadia can't cover them, the banks stop cooperating and start competing. First to sell survives. Last to sell eats the loss.

Crédit Solvay will be last.

A white-knuckle financial thriller drawn from the mechanics of one of the most dramatic market collapses of the modern era — propulsive, technically precise, morally complicated.

For readers of: Liar's Poker · Too Big to Fail · The Big Short · Margin Call
