The Panama Papers
The Panama Papers is a gripping, real-world exposé of offshore wealth and the power structures behind it. This investigative non-fiction follows journalist Bastian Obermayer and Frederik Obermaier as they receive a mysterious leak and trace a labyrinth of shell companies used by the elite to hide vast fortunes, from European leaders to celebrities.

Structured as a narrative reportage, The Panama Papers blends documentary evidence with the authors’ steady, human-centered storytelling. It walks readers through the investigative arc—from the first tip to the global network of partners who helped verify, publish, and pursue leads—while showing the ethical choices and newsroom hustle that bring a story this large to light. The book invites you into the method: data analysis, cross-border collaborations, and interviews that reveal not just numbers but the people and consequences behind them. If you enjoy true stories about power, secrecy, and the pursuit of truth, this is written in a compelling, accessible way that respects complexity without sacrificing pace.
