1996 to 2026. One November evening a Mercedes hits a truck near Susurluk, and the wreck holds a police academy director, a member of parliament and a fugitive carrying papers in another man's name; that winter, Turks switch off their lights in protest. From that crash the book follows money and the state: owners who emptied their own banks, a gold trader who testified in Manhattan that he paid a minister, a mob boss freed by a pandemic law, a crypto exchange that went dark behind a maintenance notice, a farm sold on a phone, and passports sold for flats. Covers Abdullah Çatlı and the Susurluk affair, Reza Zarrab and Halkbank, Alaattin Çakıcı and the Türkbank tapes, Sedat Peker and his Dubai videos, and Faruk Fatih Özer and Thodex.
