Baptism of Lies

In the Meridian Union, a routine fraud investigation into a discount warehouse’s chargeback scheme unravels a far darker conspiracy. OmniPay analyst Leo Vance goes undercover inside the Congregation of the Final Ledger, only to discover its charismatic leader has twisted financial scams into divine doctrine. As the cult prepares for a mass “baptism” — a ritualized group suicide meant to cleanse their debts and souls — Leo becomes the sole lucid mind trapped in a fortress of manufactured faith. Every alliance is a performance, every confession a death sentence. With the sanctuary set to collapse, he must weaponize the very fabric of lies that protected him to rescue the innocent before the final judgment consumes them all. A Robert Harris-style thriller where truth is a luxury that can only be afforded once.
