Jacket Text

Born in Massachusetts, Jared Bibler relocated to Iceland in 2004 only to find himself in the middle of an unprecedented financial crisis a handful of years later.

Personally wiped out and seeking to uncover the truth about a collapse that brought the pastoral country to its knees, he became the lead investigator into some of the largest financial crimes in the world. This work helped Iceland to famously become the only country to jail its bank CEOs in the wake of the 2008 crisis.

With the next global financial meltdown just around the corner, this untold tale is as timely as ever.

"A new genre is born: Nordic noir but with bankers going to jail. It reads like a thriller--but amazingly it's all true." Russell Napier, bestselling author of Anatomy of the Bear
