His hedge fund, based in Geneva, makes billions.\n\nBut then in the early hours of the morning, while he lies asleep with his wife, a sinister intruder breaches the elaborate security of their lakeside house. So begins a waking nightmare of paranoia and violence as Hoffmann attempts, with increasing desperation, to discover who is trying to destroy him.\n\nHis quest forces him to confront the deepest questions of what it is to be human. By the time night falls over Geneva, the financial markets will be in turmoil and Hoffmann's world - and ours - transformed forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Robert+Harris\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRobert Harris\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robert Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379758809251,"sku":"9781529156065","price":245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781529156065_1bb96a6c-43e9-4500-8dcb-4a6f1051f80b.jpg?v=1776565023","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781529156065","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
