The Ghost Market

They didn't just steal the money. They bought the silence. Miles, the disbarred detective, is a ghost operating off the grid, hunting the global syndicate that destroyed his career and chemically erased the mind of his only friend. He thought he scorched the earth beneath the corporate university that created the terrifying "Silence Merchant" drug. He was wrong. The conspiracy has simply gone decentralized. The trail leads to Kolkata, India, where a brilliant and ruthless criminal known only as Vikram, "The Voice," runs a sprawling call center operation not just for petty scams, but as the world's most sophisticated money-laundering machine. Vikram's power comes from a terrifying marketplace known as The Ghost Market, where stolen human data and compromised identities are traded for ultimate profit. Miles's analog tactics are useless against Vikram's pure digital control. Desperate, Miles teams up with Shanti, a local activist fueled by vengeance for her brother, a former call center operator executed for trying to quit. Together, they must infiltrate Vikram's heavily fortified digital fortress during a night of complete chaos, risking everything to steal the Master Ledger the final proof linking the Scammers, the University, and the global banking pipeline. Miles survived the courthouse. Now, he must survive the slum. Because if he fails, the Ghost Market will own the truth forever. Read the second intense novel in The Disbarred Detective Series.
