the greatest CRIME

you’ve never

known

Shredded $100 bills in the shape of a cancer ribbon, under the words "The Cancer Thief"

When Hendricks United Bank was purchased by a competitor in early 2022, customers and industry experts assumed it was another routine corporate marriage.

But rumors began swirling that the acquisition was really an elaborate coverup of the theft of $100 million from HUB that was mysteriously routed into the coffers of one of Indiana’s most prominent hospitals.

As investigative journalist Penelope Steward searches for the thief, she discovers the shocking reasons behind one of the biggest financial crimes in history.

And with powerful enemies closing in on her, bent on stopping this story from ever seeing the light of day, Penelope must decide how far she‘ll go to see justice served, to tell the whole truth...and to save her own life.
