How does a young accountant who is priced by the system as a "disposable number" use his only assets - expertise, evidence and the paranoia of bookkeepers - to restore the numbers on the ledger to the real names, motives and crimes one by one in the murky waters of capital and human nature. This book does not ask "can justice win?", It asks: When everyone involved in the game defaults to the fact that rules are decorations, ledgers are tools, and signatures are rituals, what price does a person who insists on recording the truth have to pay in order for the records to have teeth? The core proposition of the whole book can be compressed into one sentence: Numbers have no morals, but the people who keep them do; the account books cannot speak, but the people who organize the account books can choose who to let it speak for.
