About Dark Pools: A timely thriller about stolen fortunes and the looming threat to America’s future.

They don’t need to kill the president. They own the market. They just crash the system and profit from the wreckage. In this gripping and timely thriller, a secret banking cartel known only as the Consilium Noctis wages a silent coup, not with bullets or ballots, but with code, corruption, and the instruments of global markets. They engineer chaos through untraceable trades, backdoor algorithms, and captured power. To protect their unregulated, private trading exchanges known as dark pools, they’ll risk everything. These hidden exchanges, powered by high-frequency algorithms and total anonymity, allow the most corrupt to move billions daily and amass vast fortunes without consequence. When the Consilium Noctis threatens the American President with a coordinated market collapse unless their demands are met, the U.S. government faces an impossible choice: submit to a shadow empire or risk economic ruin. With time running out, the Secretary of the Treasury forms an unlikely alliance with a brilliant team of a rogue financier, a journalist, hackers, and spies. Drawn into a deadly global conspiracy, this group face a chilling truth: in a world ruled by money and manipulation, the most dangerous currency is truth itself. As institutions crumble and sovereign nations bow to invisible hands, the question isn’t who’s in charge. It’s who’s left to fight back. Dark Pools is a fast-paced and chilling thriller about the algorithmic war already underway and the hidden forces fighting to control the future of wealth and power.
