Dirty Books
About this ebook
A quiet, numbers-driven accountant buried under student debt and corporate monotony, Lucas never imagined his big break would come in the form of a mysterious stranger in a bar. Rafael—charming, dangerous, and dressed like trouble—offers him the kind of deal most men only fantasize about: triple the salary, zero bureaucracy, and access to a world of untold wealth.
The catch? He’ll be laundering millions for the Mendoza Cartel.
At first, it’s just numbers—shell companies, offshore accounts, and financial sleight of hand. But soon Lucas finds himself deeper than he ever intended. The money flows like water, and so does the blood. As he rises through the cartel’s ranks, his life transforms into one of luxury, privilege—and paranoia.
When the cartel asks for more than numbers, Lucas hesitates. They don’t want just a money man anymore—they want a fixer. A cleaner. A killer.
Caught between a ruthless kingpin, a relentless DEA agent, and his own unraveling conscience, Lucas makes one fatal mistake: he tries to disappear.
But the cartel doesn’t let its accountants go.
From the shimmering skylines of Miami to the humid shadows of Central America, Dirty Books is a taut, unflinching thriller about greed, loyalty, and how far a man will fall when the numbers stop adding up.
In the end, everyone’s accountable.
Some debts just can’t be erased.
