The Investigation (High Flyer, #3)

Beth Callahan is a twenty-three-year-old database tech at DataCorp who just wants to do her job and prove herself. But when she builds a search algorithm for a training project, it catches something the bank's systems missed: tiny five-dollar withdrawals scattered across dozens of customer accounts. Most people wouldn't notice five bucks going missing. Beth does. The pattern leads back to one terminal. And that terminal belongs to Valerie Hendricks-the company's beloved executive who climbed from nothing to build a reputation as a financial genius. Valerie has been nothing but kind to Beth. She's a mentor, a success story, someone to look up to. She's also stealing millions of dollars. When Beth tries to report what she found, Valerie strikes first. Suddenly, Beth's the one under investigation-fired, disgraced, framed for the very crimes she tried to expose. Her name is attached to falsified transaction records. Her career is destroyed. And Valerie's cold smile promises this is just the beginning. But Beth refuses to back down. With the help of a small team of people Valerie has already silenced, she starts building a case that could bring down not just one corrupt executive, but an entire criminal enterprise operating inside a legitimate company. The problem is, Valerie is always ten steps ahead. And she's not afraid to destroy anyone who gets in her way. A gripping financial thriller about a young woman who risks everything to expose the truth, perfect for readers who loved Bad Blood and The Whistleblower.
