The world's money has disappeared. Overnight! With most crimes there is a precedent, something to go on. Not this time.
Bitcoin looms large and the banks start behaving suspiciously but only two genius teenage hackers in a small flat in Moscow know what really happened. Plus their hormonal sixteen year old girldfriend, Anastasia. She really likes shopping. Well, she used to.
Harry Shepperton's specialist MI6 team fly to Russia and Switzerland to investigate. They've only got three days before the panic becomes civic meltdown.And Anastasia gets really upset.

An insight into what happens the day the world runs out of money, and, more specifically, about what happens next.
Won't ever happen? Remember Greece in '08? Fifty Euro's max withdrawal.
Remember Lehman's.Too big to fail. Yeah, right !
If it can happen to a country and it can happen to a bank, then what chance do the rest of us stand?

The Nines are a new secret unit in British intelligence. Formed specifically to deal with the more unusual threats facing the modern world. They deal with hijacking elections , pandemic viruses , theft in cyberspace, alternative intelligences and much more. Each member is specially selected for their individual skills but there is also a recurring theme in the recruitment process. All six have exceptionally high IQ's which rank them in the top ninety ninth percentile of the general population. Hence their nickname. They are unarmed and defuse situations and danger with a mix of intellect and humour. Much more effective than guns and bullets. Their boss, Commander Harry Shepperton, is Ten. " We don't do dead bodies in hotels any more." he likes to remind everybody. "Hell, people have to sleep in those places."
