The Martyr Fund

In the Vesperian Republic, where divine favor is measured in wealth, a whistleblower lawsuit against a physical therapy chain uncovers doctored medical records that conceal a secret ledger. The trail leads to the Hands of Absolution, a global charity that launders billions for the elite, framing greed as grace. Disgraced forensic accountant Caleb Ash and journalist Isabel Vance enter a labyrinth of ritualized murder and high-church finance, confronting a shadowy hierarch who believes salvation can be purchased. As their investigation dismantles the network, they discover that the most terrifying miracle is a society that worships the successful sinner.
