David Kessler is a logistics-tech CEO in Zurich, the kind of man who can read a global supply chain the way other people read a room. He is also, inconveniently, a quiet Mossad asset, which makes his life complicated in ways no board meeting can fix.
Anna Kessler is a world-famous art curator, renowned for provenance work, the science and psychology of proving what is real, what is forged, and what is being laundered through respectability. When she sees the same patterns of "manufactured legitimacy" in David's missing container, she knows this is not a supply-chain problem. It is a legal architecture.
Together, husband and wife do what they have never done before: they compare notes without holding anything back. But the more they align, the more dangerous the truth becomes, because David's second life was built on compartmentalisation, and Anna's reputation was built on certainty.
What they uncover is a geopolitical and legal thriller hiding in plain sight: customs exemptions, insurance warranties, freeport protocols, regulator blind spots, and a shadow trust network embedded inside global trade infrastructure. Whoever controls it can reroute containers in real time, rewrite "truth" with a timestamp, and trigger a crisis without ever firing a shot.
The evidence starts pointing at David. Zurich starts closing ranks. And the next container won't just disappear.
It will ignite a chain reaction the world will deny until it's too late.
