Melody Harper has spent her career hunting phantoms inside balance sheets, exposing crimes that hide between decimal points. When a misprinted commemorative naira skitters to her feet in Eko Central Bank’s marble foyer, she pockets it as a curiosity—never guessing it is the lynchpin of an imminent vault heist.
Ryan Bennett, posing as a janitor, crafted the robbery’s timing around that very coin. Without it, his crew’s choreography collapses, and so does the fragile loyalty of the brother he’s desperate to save. To avert bloodshed, Ryan breaks cover and gives Melody an impossible choice: call security and trigger a firefight, or gamble on a stranger who speaks in warnings instead of threats.
With fourteen minutes on the clock, the unlikely pair hurtle down back-stairs and fiber-optic corridors, hacking doors and double-crossing cameras while a quartet of armed thieves close in on the vault. Every decision flips like a coin: truth or lie, duty or mercy, arrest or escape. As steel shutters thunder shut and alarms scream through the skyscraper, Melody and Ryan discover that money’s clearest truths are written on both sides—and that redemption can cost more than any ransom.
THE SECOND SIDE OF A COIN is a high-velocity thriller where trust is counted in seconds, not spreadsheets, and the smallest misprint can rewrite two lives forever. In a city where every naira tells a story, which side will you choose? Flip it now and find out yourself today.
