The Reckoning (High Flyer, #4)

Two years after bringing down Valerie Brennan and her criminal empire at DataCorp, Beth Callahan has rebuilt a quiet life in Denver. She works at a library by day and runs a website helping other whistleblowers by night. She's survived the death threats, the lawsuits, and the price of doing what was right. Then investigative reporter Carolyn Wade calls with evidence that changes everything. The fraud didn't end with Valerie's conviction. Someone walked away clean-Thomas Sterling, the brother of one of the convicted executives. He's taken eight million dollars that was never recovered. And he's still stealing. Thomas is smarter than Valerie ever was. More connected. More dangerous. He has friends in the FBI who make evidence disappear. He has resources Valerie never dreamed of. And when he finds out Beth is investigating him, he makes one thing clear: back off, or he'll systematically destroy what's left of her life. Beth knows she should walk away. She's already sacrificed so much. But she also knows that forty million dollars has been stolen from people who trusted Thomas Sterling with their savings. People who deserve justice. With the help of a terrified insider willing to risk everything, Beth and her team race to expose Thomas before he can disappear with the money. But Thomas is always one step ahead, and he's not afraid to hurt anyone who threatens what he's built. The explosive conclusion to the High Flyer series delivers a heart-pounding thriller about the cost of fighting corruption when the system is rigged against you-and the courage it takes to keep fighting anyway. For fans of The Firm and Dark Money comes a story about standing up when everyone else backs down.
