Trying to outrun the wreckage of her own life after a personal tragedy, journalist Danielle “Dani” Moreau lands in Ghana to work on a story about corruption in the oil industry. But when she meets James Aidoo, the son of a populist Ghanaian politician, she’s drawn into a far more perilous story: a covert battle between Washington and Beijing over the fiber-optic cables that carry the world’s data beneath the sea.
As assassins close in and loyalties fracture, Dani must decide what she’s willing to risk for the sake of a story—and who she can trust in a world where information itself has become a weapon.
The Silver Fish is a haunting, propulsive debut—a literary thriller about ambition, betrayal, and the hidden infrastructure that binds together a stubbornly globalized world.
