Geld ist ein Messer

What it is about

Macheath, a gifted young accountant in Chicago, can see patterns in numbers before others recognise them. His talent opens the door to a glittering financial company—and to a system in which money laundering, political protection and ambition become indistinguishable.

Using characters inspired by Brecht’s Threepenny Opera, the novel turns the modern financial world into a literary crime story about ascent, complicity and collapse.
