Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In a world where numbers are trusted more than people, three auditors discover how easily both can be manipulated.When a prestigious audit firm assigns a senior partner and two associates to review a pharmaceutical client on the brink of collapse, the engagement appears routine-until a single invoice shifts where it shouldn't. What begins as a technical discrepancy quietly exposes a system designed to erase truth in real time.At the center of the investigation is Elias, a respected partner whose authority masks dangerous compromises; Riya, the associate whose instinct for patterns makes her indispensable-and vulnerable; and Jonas, caught between loyalty, fear, and a growing sense that survival may require betrayal. As the evidence deepens, so does their entanglement: professional boundaries blur, trust fractures, and desire complicates every ethical decision.When they realize the fraud reaches beyond the client and into their own firm's highest ranks, the audit becomes a countdown. Threats arrive without signatures. Deadlines are imposed by unseen hands. And the three must decide-not just what to expose, but how much of themselves they are willing to lose to do it.Double Materiality is a literary corporate thriller about power without spectacle, corruption without villains, and intimacy forged under pressure. It explores the seductive danger of proximity-between colleagues, between truth and survival, between doing the job and becoming complicit.This is a novel for readers of intelligent suspense, where the most dangerous moments happen in quiet rooms, and the greatest betrayals arrive wrapped in professionalism.
