L'Affaire des affaires #2
El negocio de los negocios
El periodista y escritor Denis Robert sigue investigando el caso Clearstream, y descubre que se enfrenta a un gigantesco pulpo cuyos tentáculos lo arrasan todo a su paso, con total discreción y sobre todo, con total impunidad, manipulando a sus anchas los flujos financieros internacionales legales e ilegales...El relato empieza en este segundo volumen en 2008, con el principio de la crisis financiera mundial y la detención de Madoff.
"El trabajo de Denis Robert es una labor muy útil contra el crimen organizado, ya que nos permite conocer el entramado financiero del dinero invisible desde un punto de vista original y preciso. Se trata de una tarea ardua y valiente que merece todo el apoyo de los que pretendemos cortar los lazos entre las finanzas y el crimen organizado".
Roberto Saviano, periodista y escritor, autor de Gomorra

Es como si viera un atraco a plena luz del día.

Es un thriller periodístico que se adentra en las oscuras entrañas del poder financiero y la corrupción. Con una narrativa tensa y bien estructurada, Robert nos guía a través de una investigación implacable que revela las complejidades y peligros que enfrentan aquellos que se atreven a desafiar el statu quo. La precisión y el detalle en la exposición de hechos reales entretejidos con ficción, junto con personajes bien desarrollados, hacen de esta obra una lectura muy recomendable.

Denis Robert sigue investigando Clearstream y nos muestra cómo de asqueroso puede ser el mundo financiero. Podemos darnos una idea del por qué de la pobreza en el mundo
