1939. As the world edges toward war, Ansel Luxford seems to have it all: a promising career, a brilliant wife, and a newborn child. But he can’t shake the conviction that Nazi Germany is building a machine that will consume Europe—and eventually, the globe.
When he’s recruited into a secret Treasury Department project, Ansel discovers a new kind of battlefield: money. Alongside an unlikely band of economists and bureaucrats, he must wage economic warfare—undermining the Reich through sabotage, shadow deals, and audacious financial heists.
But subterfuge has its price. Ansel’s wife joins the FBI to root out spies, and soon their family’s survival is entwined with secrets on both sides. The Wealth of Shadows reveals the hidden war fought not with bullets, but with banks.
