Summary

Financial independence is a dream for many, and some people will do anything to achieve it. 


Freedom 56 is a thriller inspired by the author’s entrepreneurial journey, which includes thirty years of experience in the business world. 


“Surprising and unpredictable.” 


“Sometimes humorous, sometimes sarcastic.” 


“An excellent finish!” 


Marc Paradis is the leading expert in corporate finance and M&A in Montreal. Despite this enviable reputation, the 55-year-old is disappointed. His personal financial situation and his love life are failures compared to his brother Christophe, a Don Juan who seems to succeed at everything. 


A meeting between the two men and the speaker Kim Roy, the so-called ‘Queen of Financial Independence,’ will trigger a series of events with dramatic consequences. 


Despite his impeccable ethics, Marc will find himself plunged into the heart of a scheme led by unscrupulous people willing to do anything to achieve their goals. The rather conservative businessman will need to take huge risks to protect the most precious person in the world, his daughter. 


What if the path to financial freedom is paved with bad intentions?
