Basic Economics: A Crime Thriller

By Grace Ferguson

She made an error. Next comes the cost. Fiona Manning, a product manager at Hire-Pay Solutions, is tasked with a game-changing project that could drive the company's next phase of growth. Instead of handling the work herself, she illegally outsources it to product designer Stanley Moore. Poverty-stricken, he blackmails her, vowing to reveal their illegal partnership if she fails to pay him five hundred thousand dollars. Potentially facing thirty years in prison, Fiona surrenders. To protect her failing marriage, she hides the blackmail from her husband, prominent investment banker Peter Manning. But when the demand escalates to one and a half million, Fiona encounters a crisis that threatens not only her freedom but also Hire-Pay's financial stability. Can she take down Stanley Moore? Would Peter even help? Basic Economics is a high-stakes thriller exploring power, leverage, risk, and consequence.
