The Defense - High Flyer, #2

Beth Callahan discovered the truth—millions of dollars stolen through hidden transactions in DataCorp's databases. But when she reports her findings to security, she walks straight into a trap.

Valerie Hendricks has been stealing for fifteen years, and she's not about to let a junior programmer from Iowa destroy everything she's built. With her powerful position and complete access to DataCorp's systems, Valerie launches a calculated campaign to destroy Beth's credibility before Beth can expose the truth.

Files mysteriously corrupted. Performance reviews questioning Beth's stability. Hostile work environments. And finally, forged evidence sent to the FBI, making it look like Beth is the criminal.

As Beth watches her life unravel—suspended from her job, facing federal investigation, isolated and alone—she realizes she's fighting someone with resources and ruthlessness she never imagined. Valerie controls the narrative, manipulates the evidence, and turns everyone against Beth.

But Beth still has one thing Valerie can't destroy: the truth. Hidden on backup drives, documented in her own words, waiting for someone brave enough to look.

Every empire needs protecting. And Valerie will do whatever it takes to protect hers.

A gripping financial thriller about power, corruption, and one woman's fight against a system designed to silence her. Book Two of the High Flyer series takes readers deeper into a world where money matters more than truth, and survival means fighting dirty.

Perfect for readers who loved The Firm and enjoyed the high-stakes tension of corporate thrillers where ordinary people face extraordinary corruption.
