The Secrets of The Golden Shoe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233627255)

A dead father. A stolen future. A secret forged in blood

When New Yorker Leo inherits a masterfully crafted Golden Shoe from his late father, Elias, he assumes it is just a quirky souvenir from a life spent at sea. He is wrong. The relic hides a weaponized digital ledger stolen from The Firm - an elite syndicate controlling global trade. For twenty years Elias served as their chief Auditor. Before his death, he weaponized his data to expose the empire he helped build, leaving his children a war instead of an inheritance.

Targeted by Macy, the syndicate's most lethal assassin, Leo and his siblings flee across the globe. But as they decode the ledger, the true horror of The firm's enterprise comes to light: a clandestine biomedical network using human biology as a testing ground for genetic experimentation. The ultimate terror hits closest to home. The final cryptographic key is encoded directly into the DNA of Leo's younger brother, Simon. With syndicate strike teams closing in, Leo's mission shifts from data espionage to raw survival.

To protect his family from becoming property of the state, an ordinary civilian must become the ultimate predator.
