  In the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance, where money flows like water, there's a sinister undercurrent that only a select few can perceive. What money can't buy, murder can. 
  Billionaire Zachary Barron's currency hedge fund is bleeding money, thanks to an elusive thief. Determined to bring the perpetrator to justice, he enlists the services of Katerina "Kat" Carter, a forensic accountant renowned for her white-collar crime investigative skills. Little do they know, their quest for justice will lead to a chilling revelation – the thief is none other than Zachary's own father, Nathan. 
  But Nathan is just the tip of the iceberg. 
  Nathan is entangled with a clandestine organization of unparalleled influence, with tendrils that reach every corner of the globe. They've infiltrated the banking industry and media, but their ultimate ambition is the destabilization of the global currency market, paving the way for a new world order. 
  Kat stands as the sole obstacle in their path. Yet, as the organization becomes aware of her involvement, a menacing warning arrives. Others who dared to thwart their plans have met grisly fates, and Kat knows she's next. A choice looms before her – walk away and forever fear the shadows or fight back, making herself and her loved ones targets or even potential traitors. 
  For Kat Carter, the mantra is clear: the greater the risk, the greater the reward. This is a gamble with no safety net, and it's an all-or-nothing game. Who will dare to join her? 
  Praise for Game Theory: 
  “Wow! One of the best psychological thrillers I have read…” 
  “A riveting legal thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Prepare to be addicted!” 
  “A gripping Wall Street thriller that keeps you guessing…” 
  A high-stakes financial thriller novel set in Vancouver, Game Theory is loosely based on the real-life global think-tank and secret society, The Bilderberg Group.

  Vicious hate crimes are rocking the LGBTQ+ community in Accra, and prejudice and politics threaten to stymie PI Emma Djan’s efforts to find the killer. Author Kwei Quartey tackles a timely and deeply personal issue as a very-real anti-gay bill threatens to tear Ghana apart if ratified by the president. 
   
  Marcelo Tetteh, a twenty-seven-year-old LGBTQ activist, is butchered to death one night after being lured on Grindr to a deserted building site. With high instances of homophobia in Ghana, Marcelo’s wealthy father doesn’t trust the Ghana Police Service to find the killer, so he goes to the Sowah Private Investigators Agency for help, partly because he still feels guilty for disowning his son when he came out. 
   
  Emma is assigned the case, but quickly learns of a complication that prevents her from teaming up as usual with Jojo, her trusted colleague. Emma is the only one at work who knows Jojo is gay, and now he reveals something else: for some time, Jojo was dating Marcelo, the victim. 
   
  Working with Manu, whom she’s never gotten along with at work, Emma goes undercover in several organizations including International Congress of Families, a powerful organization seeking to criminalize homosexuality in African countries. As Emma infiltrates the ICF, she uncovers a web of deceit and hypocrisy and discovers that the mastermind behind the murders is someone much closer than she ever imagined. Emma must race against time to unmask the killer, protect the vulnerable LGBTQ community, and bring justice to the victims, all while navigating the dangerous waters of politics, power, and personal secrets.
