The State of Trust

Doubt is the tool. Trust is the target.

British oligarch Nigel Raymond plants a 1947 memo claiming the truth about UFOs was hidden and the public deceived. His plan is simple — shake faith in institutions and profit when confidence collapses. A calculated release; a market primed to fall. But the collapse never comes: markets absorb pressure that should have broken them.

Then Nathan Lloyd begins asking questions no one wants answered, and as the deception starts to surface the game changes — what began as a financial play becomes something far larger. The second book in The Maybe Sequence, The State of Trust is a conspiracy thriller about power, perception and trust.
