In 1980, in the midst of the Argentine military dictatorship, Swiss private banker Yvan De Wiel travels to Buenos Aires with his wife. His banking partner René, who had previously been responsible for Argentine clients, can no longer be found. Following his tracks and contacts, Yvan descends deeper and deeper into the decadent world of the upper class, where he is invited to elegant luxury hotels or stately country estates. But the accumulated evidence shows that René has been involved in shady dealings with dangerous and powerful associates. And Yvan already has one foot in their door. Sharply observed and calmly told, the financial thriller AZOR leads us into the abysses of the banking world and morality.
