About this ebook
A Modern Retelling of Alexandre Dumas’s Classic
“Wait and hope.”
Edmond Dantès has everything: a brilliant mind, a promotion to Chief Technical Officer at twenty-eight, and a ring in his pocket for the woman he loves. Then, in a single night, three men who envy him for three different reasons make sure he never reaches her.
Betrayed by a jealous colleague who is now a billionaire hedge fund manager, a hometown rival who is now a powerful U.S. Senator, and a district attorney willing to bury the truth to protect his career, Edmond is stripped of his name, his future, and his freedom. In captivity, he finds an unlikely mentor in Abbé Faria, a brilliant cryptographer and former MIT professor, who teaches him everything he will need to return as someone else entirely.
Years later, a mysterious and impossibly wealthy figure emerges from the shadows of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington, D.C. He has resources no one can trace, allies no one can see, and a patience that is almost frightening. The three men who destroyed Edmond Dantès will soon learn that the past never stays buried, and that a fortune built from the digital age can bring down empires faster than any sword.
Reimagined for the era of cryptocurrency, cybersecurity, and political power, The Count of Montecrypto carries the spirit of Dumas’s masterwork into a world of encrypted fortunes, public scandals, and carefully calculated revenge. It is a gripping story of betrayal, patience, and the cost of vengeance, for readers who love elaborate plots, morally complex heroes, and classic tales made new.
Based on the masterwork of Alexandre Dumas.
