The Wolf Within: Sequel to The Fat Finger
The Wolf Within plunges readers into a world on the brink of chaos.
As Elisa gives birth to baby Charlie, she and Ben savour a fleeting moment of peace. But the calm is shattered when Elisa’s godfather, Eloy Junqueras—CEO of the Port of Barcelona—becomes the target of a vicious smear campaign. Its destroy his reputation and force the sale of the strategic port to Chinese investors.
At the same time, a shadowy killer stalks Catalunya. Dubbed The Wolf of the Pyrenees by the press, the assassin leaves a trail of bodies—philosophers, politicians, voices of the pro-Independence movement—each kill, a calculated blow in a covert nationalist war. When Eloy’s own brother, the Mayor of La Seu d’Urgell, is found brutally murdered in Andorra, the conflict turns deadly and Igor, the brutal FSB agent who tried to crush Ben in The Fat Finger, is back on the prowl.
Meanwhile, Ben and Alina—a brilliant Ukrainian hacker now hiding in Andorra—uncover a sinister thread and proof that the FSB is still pulling strings. Their puppet master? Colonel Mikhailov, orchestrating a global game of espionage and economic subversion in cahoots with the Chinese MSS.
The final piece falls into place in Beijing, where the most cunning trader of his generation prepares a bold crash Bitcoin, and rise with LeCoin—China’s Central Bank Digital Currency. The plan? Replace the U.S. dollar and corner the world’s access to rare earths and strategic minerals through China’s massive port empire.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. For Ben Brennan, the odds of survival are slim. For Alina, the mission becomes deeply personal. With global freedom hanging by a thread, Ben and Alina launch a desperate, high-risk counterstrike—a showdown in the dark heart of the crypto markets, where fortunes are made and nations are reshaped.
If LeCoin wins, the West loses. Everything.

Like Fat Finger, Greg’s writing is more than just thriller pacing; it blends espionage, finance, love, and betrayal into the fabric of modern geopolitical conflict. The Wolf Within is the literary equivalent of a high-stakes, multi-board chess match, where every character move is calculated and every twist a counter-strike. It’s a brain power play where markets, motives, and nations collide, leaving readers wondering who’s truly in control or even aware of all the players.
