No Favor, No Mercy

They put a dead rat in her desk for eleven weeks. She kept receipts. Vesna Coyle testified against a hedge fund and lost everything. Then its real owner offered her a job. Aleksander Mihailov is forty-nine, patient, and famous for two things: making money out of nothing, and letting his people find out for themselves who belongs on his floor. He tells them she is not to be touched. He does nothing when they touch her anyway. That is the point. Vesna survives. Then she starts reading the accounts, and what she finds is two hundred million dollars Aleksander has been stealing from his own family for years — and a man building an exit with her name nowhere near it. His consigliere wants her gone. Aleksander has a different idea. He is not going to protect her. He is going to make her the one thing in the building nobody can touch.
