by piece, he dismantles him: forged documents, manipulated systems,
and betrayal disguised as loyalty. By the time Alasdair sees the trap, it's too
late.
Drawn into the conspiracy is David Wallace, Cambria's new chief technol-
ogy officer. Hired to modernize systems, David discovers he's walked into
a war where every line of code, every alliance, and every choice carries
consequences. Standing with Alasdair could cost him everything-but
staying silent could make him complicit in a forgotten crime.
Set against the looming 2008 financial crisis, Planted is a financial thriller
about ambition, sabotage, and the brutal cost of power. In a world where
success paints a target on your back, loyalty can be the deadliest risk of all.
