ZERO KNOWLEDGE

Just when you think you know the answer…you don’t.

In Switzerland’s Crypto Valley, secrets are currency, trust is dangerous, and the truth may be the most valuable thing of all.

When cryptocurrency entrepreneur Luc Starck dies suddenly in the heart of Zug, his death initially appears to be an unfortunate natural tragedy. But inconsistencies soon emerge, forcing police to consider a far more disturbing possibility: Luc Starck was murdered.

Senior investigator Bernt Berg is assigned to the increasingly high-profile case, working alongside his daughter, a young investigator determined to prove she belongs in a profession where her father’s reputation casts a long shadow. What begins as a seemingly straightforward investigation quickly spirals into a maze of cryptocurrency, encrypted secrets, hidden motives, and clues that refuse to lead where they should.

Meanwhile, Luc’s friend Duan Ripa is conducting an investigation of his own. Still struggling with the death of his wife, the emotionally fragile cryptography expert becomes obsessed with decoding the private key to Luc’s crypto wallet. What he discovers changes everything.

Luc’s death was no accident.

Now Duan is caught in a deadly race to unlock one final clue before someone else reaches it first. As the police investigation collides with the secretive world surrounding Luc’s cryptocurrency dealings, every new answer creates another question—and every seemingly logical conclusion begins to unravel.

This revised second edition delivers a sharper, more streamlined reading experience, with tighter prose, more concise storytelling, and a faster narrative flow that keeps the mystery moving without sacrificing character, atmosphere, or complexity. The result is a leaner, more immediate thriller designed to pull readers deeper into the investigation from the opening pages to the final revelation.

Set against the striking backdrop of Zug, Switzerland, Zero Knowledge is a cleverly constructed international crime thriller filled with technological intrigue, mounting suspense, unexpected revelations, and a mystery that refuses to follow the rules.

Was Luc Starck the victim of a brilliantly executed murder—or is the truth far more dangerous than anyone imagined?
