Compromised: A Black Desk Thriller. Black Desk, #1

A reopened maritime insurance claim should have been routine. Instead, forensic reviewer Anna Calder finds a single page that was never meant to surface, old enough to be real, important enough to have been buried, and marked with a handwritten note that points to a hidden path inside the file. The moment she sends it to Paul Andrews, everything changes. Paul knows the handwriting. He knows the dead man who wrote it.
And he knows the page is tied to Glass Harbor, a covert corridor hidden inside shipping claims, customs discrepancies, and paperwork designed to look too ordinary to matter. Now Anna and Paul are racing a system built to erase the truth without ever appearing to. Because the most dangerous secrets are not destroyed. They are cleaned up, absorbed, and made impossible to prove. Compromised is a dark, intelligent thriller about buried histories, covert machinery, and the fight to expose what was never supposed to survive.
