Karen Mercer was hired to keep Titanor Group looking cleanâon paper. In reality, âcleanâ is just the companyâs favorite costume. As the newly appointed head of Special Compliance Investigations, Karen has the authority to pry open any locked drawer, pull any file, and interrogate anyoneâfrom interns to executives who think theyâre untouchable. Her job is simple in theory: find the rot. But Titanorâs corruption isnât loud. It whispers. An event budget mysteriously evaporates. A luxury resort runs on favors instead of rules. A whistleblower sends Karen a half-burnt USB. And someone inside the Group is destroying evidence before she can touch it. Karen teams up with Amanda Hayes, a forensic accountant whose brain can read financial statements like crime scenes, and Jonah Reyes, a digital forensics prodigy who can resurrect âaccidentally deletedâ logs. Together, they peel back Titanorâs layersâonly to find powerful hands rearranging the truth faster than they can expose it. In a world of spotless corporate smiles and dirty corporate deals, Karen must decide how far sheâs willing to go. Because at Titanor, telling the truth is dangerous. Uncovering it is fatal.
