THE FATAL ALGORITHM When a brilliant computer scientist plunges from the 47th floor of a Manhattan tower, everything points to a desperate suicide. But for FBI Special Agent Morgan Vega, a simple encrypted message received that night opens the door to something far more sinister. The word "PROMETHEUS" is the only piece of a puzzle whose scope no one yet comprehends. Between New York and Hong Kong, Vega embarks on a dizzying investigation that takes her into the heart of ultra-high-speed trading algorithms and financial manipulations on a global scale. Opposing her, Apex Financial Technologies and its charismatic CEO Cameron Blackwood weave a seemingly impenetrable web of influence. As global markets begin to show inexplicable fluctuations, Vega discovers the unthinkable: a program designed to trigger the orchestrated collapse of the international financial system. In this race against time, the boundary between whistleblowers and conspirators dangerously blurs. Who is Eleanor Chen, the enigmatic consultant whose name appears at every turn of the investigation? Valuable ally or formidable manipulator? Beyond computer code, a true economic weapon emerges. And its countdown has already begun. More than a financial thriller, a breathtaking dive into a world where a few lines of code can rewrite the global order.
