ABOUT THE BOOK
What if you figured out a way to pull off an impossible crime? Would you do it? That is the million-dollar question for security expert Viktor Alexov when he visits the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa as a tourist. What begins as a hypothetical, problem-solving exercise for him soon becomes an obsession when he realizes he knows the perfect way to steal gold undetected from one of the most secure buildings in the world. With two accomplices from his Bulgarian Army days, Alexov sets out to commit the crime of the century. But in order to do the job, they must first recruit inside help at the Mint. Some Mint workers are recruited through greed, some through passion, and others through blackmail. As hundreds of details come together, Alexov and his team become more and more confident that they have the perfect plan. With so much preparation, what could possibly go wrong…
