Renata

Renata Voss has been the chief counsel to Auerbach Maritime for eight years. She has never met the founder. She meets him the day she asks one question too many about a shell company — on a private jet, in a mountain house, with no phone and no explanation. Konstantin Auerbach is sixty-one, immaculate, and entirely willing to keep her there until the audit clears. Renata calls it what it is. He lets her. Five weeks. A library, a kitchen, a long table, and a paper trail she's been memorizing since the second night. She's not waiting to be rescued. She's building a case — and by the time it's ready, she'll know exactly what Konstantin Auerbach has been hiding from his own board for a decade.
