About this title

Synopsis

Some errors are not errors at all.

When Maya Chen's Meridian Bank account merges with a stranger's due to a
"database migration glitch," she assumes it's an inconvenience. A bureaucratic
headache. A seventy-two-hour wait.

She's wrong.

As a UX designer, Maya has spent years studying how systems communicate with
users — what they reveal, what they conceal, and what they were built to do. And
something about this particular error doesn't add up. The message is too polished.
Too specific. Legitimate banking errors are defensive, generic, written by lawyers.
This one reads like it was designed.

Through transaction memos inside their shared financial interface, Maya begins
corresponding with Ethan Brooks — a banking VP in Chicago who has also noticed
that something is wrong. Very wrong. Over seven days of careful, urgent
communication, the two strangers piece together what they've accidentally stumbled
into: forty-three million dollars in laundered money, a decade-long
conspiracy hidden inside Meridian's own architecture, and a senior executive who
has already decided that witnesses are a problem he knows how to solve.

The glitch wasn't a glitch. It was a door.

And someone is coming to close it.

THE DIGITAL GLITCH is a psychological thriller told in two timelines:
the seven days of the account merge — when Maya and Ethan race to document a
crime before the system resets and erases everything they've found — and three
months later, when Maya sits across from a federal investigator in a San Francisco
interview room and begins to explain what went wrong, and who didn't make it out.

Sharp, propulsive, and deeply human, The Digital Glitch is a novel about
the hidden architecture of the systems we trust — and what happens when two
ordinary people see through the interface to the decision underneath.

Perfect for readers of The Silent Patient, Gone Girl,
Severance, and Dark Money. A debut thriller for anyone who has ever
looked at a screen and thought: who built this, and why?
