This is a Nordic Noir-style crime novel with an intellectual twist. A tax lawyer Reno Grants helps a businessman Felix Blums, who in Riga, Latvia are facing an extortion by mafia and local corrupt tax officials. Both realize that the mafia's roots may run much deeper than just the authorities. But it gets worse. While making a charitable donation, Felix discovers that he is responsible for the fraud involving the mafia's money. He must pay them or he and his fiancée will be killed. But his fiancée has also gone missing and has some secrets, too. The rules of the game are simple: who will run faster - the mafia trying to get their money back, or Felix and Reno trying to find both the fiancée and the money? The chase reveals how the criminal financial world works, with offshore networks and tax dodging schemes that are still freely available.
