The Banker Who Died
The Banker Who Died
Matthew A. Carter

This private Swiss bank is special, and you need to be special to become a part of it.

Founded in the 19th century, Laville & Cie has a long history of private bankers who are experts at keeping the secrets of their ultra-rich clients.

After one of its employees is killed in a car accident, the bank needs someone to take over his Russian clients. These billionaires are a special breed and require a non-standard approach, meaning a banker who is ready to do whatever it takes.

And management has decided that Stanley McKnight is the right man for the job. But as the stakes are raised and Stanley finds himself caught between the tempestuous billionaire Gagarin and the law, does he really have what it takes to keep his head?

Stanley McKnight is a little banker in a big world in The Banker Who Died. Stanley used to work as a private banker for Goldman Sachs, but after his outstanding work there caught the attention of the heads of a rival bank, he is soon hired at Laville & Cie. Laville & Cie is a private bank based in Switzerland that caters only to the richest clientele. As such, doing well in their jobs can lead to big money for the bankers themselves. With great reward and prestige, though, comes great risk. As the bank only works with the ultra-rich, the job can be quite dangerous.
