About this audiobook
She inherited a dead man’s fortune. What she really inherited was his war.
A will is supposed to be the last honest thing a person ever says. What Corinne Ashby inherits is a lie twelve years in the making.
She is a meticulous Boston estate attorney — until a man she hasn’t spoken to in two decades names her executor of his fortune from beyond the grave. Ambrose Thorne was a reclusive industrialist who once paid for her education after her father died in a “accident” at his plant. Now he’s dead too, and the will he left behind isn’t written in English. It’s written in cipher, keyed to a novel he taught her to decode when she was sixteen.
Line by line, the code unravels into something monstrous: $412 million, a decade of secrecy, and an off-books intelligence network still active, still funded, still hunting. Thorne hasn’t just left her an inheritance. He’s left her command of a weapon — and the truth about who really killed her father.
