Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A small line of code in a Swiss bank's computer propels Alex Payton into a world of corruption and deceit when she uncovers a bank account opened for a Jewish family during World War II. From her basement cubicle in Zurich, she is drawn to Amsterdam, Budapest, New York, and Brazil on a dangerous hunt for the truth.
The account Alex discovers is a Treuhand account, one of many set up to protect Jewish families? identities from Nazi persecutors. This one has been slowly accruing value in a Swiss bank for more than half a century and has remained unclaimed and undisclosed.
As she searches for clues to the fate of the family, Alex becomes entangled in an international web of treachery and betrayal. With each step of her investigation, she unknowingly exposes herself and the lost heirs to the dangers of revealing secrets that some would kill to protect. Synopsis:Hitler and the Third Reich's sweep across the European continent drove thousands of Jewish families to place their assets under the name of trusted Swiss lawyers and fiduciary agents on the eve of World War II. While many families claimed lost funds at the end of the war, many unclaimed accounts remain secreted away in Swiss vaults. Alex Payton is computer programmer hired to deactivate bugs in the Helvetia Bank of Zurich's database. In the process, she discovers a secret bank account wrought with a mysterious and dangerous history. With each clue Alex unearths, she finds herself deeper within a myriad of deceit, lies, and murder. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
