The Gold Club

By David Haskell

He's a browbeaten bookkeeper by day. A bestselling kingmaker by night. And he just might get away with it... if he doesn't accidentally become Employee of the Month.
Ted Ward is a man of simple pleasures: he likes his coffee hot, his weekends free, and his head down. As a mid-level coordinator at Sahara Corp-the world's largest, hungriest online retailer-his biggest ambition is to survive the day without being noticed.
But when Ted stumbles upon a glitch in the company's almighty sales algorithm, he doesn't file a bug report. He builds a backdoor.
Teaming up with Phil, a brilliant but perpetually anxious IT wizard, Ted launches "The Gold Club." It's a secret, invite-only service that can turn any starving artist into a global bestseller with a single click.
Suddenly, Ted isn't just a cog in the machine; he's the Ghost in the Shell. He's making dreams come true for struggling writers, musicians, and creators, all while skimming a "consulting fee" right off the top. Life is good. The coffee tastes better. And he's finally caught the eye of Til Nune, the struggling musician of his dreams.
But there's a problem with playing Robin Hood in a corporate glass tower: The Sheriff of Nottingham is watching.
Dennis Hamm, Sahara's paranoid and power-hungry CEO, knows someone is messing with his metrics. He's unleashed his pitbull of a security chief to hunt down the "rogue element," and the net is tightening.
Now, Ted has to juggle a budding romance built on little white lies, a partner who is hyperventilating in the server room, and a heist that has grown way too big to hide.
Can Ted pull off the ultimate exit strategy before the corporate hammer falls? Or will his golden ticket turn into a one-way trip to federal prison?
Perfect for fans of Office Space, Ocean's Eleven, and anyone who has ever wanted to stick it to the boss.
