Crossroads

THEY TOOK HIS FREEDOM.
NOW HE DECIDES WHO STAYS FREE.
Roberto Edoardo Riva is the golden boy of Milanese finance: a wunderkind raised among the trading monitors of Piazza Affari, moving millions every week and losing himself in the excessive nightlife of Italy's elite. But everything changes in one blurred dawn when he wakes up in a penthouse that isn't his, next to the lifeless body of a young Swedish model. The evidence is damning, and the press convicts him long before the court does: arrest, trial, years behind bars.
Within the walls of San Vittore prison, Roberto learns to survive and to question everything-especially the "anonymous tip" that brought the police to his door at the perfect moment. Once released, his career in ruins and his friends long gone, he attempts to rebuild his life in Bangkok, reinventing himself once more in the financial markets.
It is there that an anonymous package forces him to look his past in the eye. Photos, reports, and a recording reveal that that night was no accident, but a meticulously engineered trap set by those closest to him.
From Milan to Thailand, from the Stock Exchange to a prison cell, Crossroads is a story of a fall from grace and a revenge crafted with the cold precision of a financial operation. A novel where no one is truly innocent, and one question remains: how far are you willing to go to take your life back?
