When global markets implode in synchronized, precision-timed crashes, CIA black-ops agent Logan Briggs is pulled from the shadows and given an impossible order: find the perpetrators—but don't eliminate them. .
Briggs is a weapon, not an auditor. But as he hunts the ghost network behind the economic carnage, he's pulled into a covert war where finance is the battlefield and every strike costs nations trillions. His first lead is assassinated before he can talk. A Pentagon whistleblower dies in a staged accident. Someone is erasing the truth—and they're always one step ahead.
What Briggs uncovers is a conspiracy so vast it makes regime change look quaint: seven billionaires and Defense Department insiders engineering a controlled collapse of global finance to seize power before an alleged existential threat arrives. Their plan—Prometheus Protocol—will shatter economies, topple governments, and "reset" the world under their rule.
And they believe they're saving America.
When Briggs discovers the threat they're using to justify their coup is a manufactured lie, it's already too late. Markets are burning. Allies are compromised. The final phase is hours away.
To stop them, Briggs must wage a one-man war against private armies, corrupted intelligence assets, and a billionaire messiah who thinks he's the only one fit to steer civilization through the coming storm.
The world won't end if Briggs fails. It will be rebuilt—by the worst people alive.
Perfect for fans of Bourne, Orphan X, and The Night Manager, The Hidden Agenda blends visceral action with razor-sharp financial conspiracy in a thriller where every bullet fired has trillion-dollar consequences.
