From banker in Zurich to worldwide accountant for the Calabrian mafia - a novel about an inconspicuous woman. In the 1990s, a young woman moves from the Lower Saxony province to Zurich to pursue a career as an investment banker. There, she discovers the world of bad banks, where neither borders nor laws seem to apply. However, when her career stagnates, she realizes how much freedom it grants her to be an overlooked woman: soon, she is investing millions outside the law. In court, she ultimately remains silent. Others tell her story. With "The Player," Isabelle Lehn creates an ambivalent heroine who knows how to leverage her inconspicuousness. A smart and fluid novel from an uncompromising author - and an exciting game with our own expectations. Inspired by a true story.
