The Alabaster Conscience

In the shadow of a bitter judicial election, drifter and former military investigator Tom Calder is hired to trace a suspicious campaign donation. His search leads him to the Blessed Path Foundation, a revered global charity. But behind the stained glass, Calder uncovers a sophisticated money-laundering empire where cartel cash is washed clean by the fervent belief that wealth is the ultimate sign of divine favor. In a world where success is measured in marble altars and private jets, high-intellect criminals have twisted faith into a flawless financial machine. Calder must tear down this cathedral of lies before the gavel falls and a corrupted judge ascends to the bench, all while confronting a society that worships the very success such crimes manufacture.
