A Financial ThrillerThat Refuses to Play Safe

Jamie is a highly skilled intelligence operative embedded deep inside Africa's elite financial world. His mission is precise: infiltrate closed networks, expose corruption, and trace shadow deals that move quietly between banking towers in Johannesburg, mining operations in the DRC, and cultural fronts from Cape Verde to West Africa.

But power never exists without cost.

As the operation tightens, Jamie discovers that the most dangerous threat is not the syndicates he is tracking, but the human collateral damage of truth itself.

"Surviving is holding on; thriving is letting go of what may no longer serve you."

About the Author

Janade Du Plessis

Author Portrait

With lived experience across 51 African countries and deep roots in seven major African metropolitan cities, the author brings a level of authenticity that cannot be manufactured.

Academic research into money laundering networks across Africa provides the technical backbone of the novel, while years spent inside global financial markets give the story its edge.

This is not borrowed insight.

It is earned perspective.

Shadowed Bankers is both a thriller and a quiet act of defiance: a love letter to Africa's complexity, its beauty, and its untold power struggles, written without apology and without simplification.

"When African founders thrive, the entire continent rises."
