Prologue

It was late at night when Julian Schmidt was still in his office, immersed in a pile of files piling up on his desk. The dim light from the lamp cast shadows on the walls, while he was concentrated on his research into the case of the so-called Mountain Climbers.

They were a criminal organization rooted in the global financial market, and were known for their insidious tactics and their deep connections within various companies around the world. Outside this organization, high-ranking employees in reputable companies were persuaded to work as inside traders, manipulating insider information to make undue profits.

An inside trader had recently been discovered in the company of a client of Julian's, a lawyer who was known for his single-mindedness in finding out what he wanted. It was no wonder that at the height of his 45 years, he already had his own firm solidified, where he was a partner and founder.

Over the course of the night, Julian pushed further into his exploration, but without much success. The silence had already taken up residence for hours in that usually so busy office and was only interrupted intermittently by the harsh sound of pen on paper and Julian's hands flipping through documents, left and right, trying to find out some information.

The truth is that in embarking on this case, he did not suspect that it would put him in a position to confront a process much larger and deeper than he imagined, where determination had to be combined with logical thinking and intelligence now more than ever. In this game, everyone could have different hands than they said, and it wasn't easy to figure out who was bluffing. Up until now, this organization had similarities to a cult, in Julian's view. Once you were in, you'd just get out dead or you'd change your name and your country. And fast indeed... Each secret was very well protected by the owners of this information, who knew very well what they were doing and had not the slightest scruple.

Julian's life was about to change in every way over the next few hours, and he had no idea. That would be the biggest case of his entire glorious career.
