A Debut Novel

The AdverseAnomaly Series

A debut thriller about beneficial ownership concealment, the audit that wouldn’t close, and the woman who walked away from the firm before they could ask why.

On the third Tuesday in March, the wire posted twice.

The first transfer was routine—a quarterly distribution from a Delaware LLC to a BVI holding company, the kind of related-party transaction the audit team had been signing off on for six years. The second was the same wire. Same amount, same routing, three minutes later. By the time the reconciliation flagged it, the originating account had been closed.

What follows is what the wire transfer documentation actually shows.

About the author

An A-frame, a half-wolf, and a working knowledge of shell-company structures.

Meg Macallan spent eleven years in fraud auditing before leaving the firm without a forwarding address. She writes from a snowbound A-frame in the Rockies, with Ledger the half-wolf at her feet and Debit the cat on the desk where the manuscript is supposed to be.

The thrillers draw from public case documents—wire transfer mechanics, beneficial ownership concealment, jurisdiction shopping—not invented thriller-isms. The juxtaposition is the point.
