He's going to tell you everything.
How he walked into a room full of billionaires' children and saw a catalog of leverage.
How he made a CEO's daughter feel brilliant so her father would open the vault.
How he turned dinner parties into crime scenes and philanthropy into a mask.
How he built a machine that ran on complicity - and made the most powerful people in the world too compromised to stop it.
He's going to tell you all of it. Calmly. Clearly. With the patience of a man who has been running the math on human weakness for forty years and has never once been wrong.
And the worst part?
You're going to understand him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Spider's Web is a first-person psychological thriller told entirely from the perspective of the predator. Vincent Aldric is brilliant, charming, and monstrous - and he narrates his own rise from nobody to the most protected private citizen in America with the warmth of a man explaining his life's work to an audience he respects.
He is not sorry. He is thorough.
For readers who love:
- Narrators who terrify you because they make too much sense (American Psycho, You, Lolita)
- The machinery of institutional corruption (House of Cards, Succession)
- Thrillers that don't just tell you a story - they implicate you in one
***This novel contains a narrator who will make you uncomfortable - not because he's evil, but because he's persuasive. Reader discretion is advised.
