About the book

Approved. Verified. Deadly.

A routine street robbery in London leaves Andy holding his friend Steve’s cabin bag, a half-finished police statement and a question no one has answered.

Why did the thief go for the bag?

The details do not fit. A passport photograph appears beside a baggage tag that should not exist. A child’s toy rubber duck is hidden in Steve’s luggage. Then Steve is abducted in broad daylight, and the official response begins to feel less like help than delay.

Elsewhere in London, a prisoner dies in custody after an agency doctor is cleared through the system. Two police officers vanish while following a trail of modified vehicles, false paperwork and corrupted response data.

Every record looks complete.
Every approval appears legitimate.
Every green tick opens another door.

As Andy is drawn into the same hidden network as police officers Amy and Jamie, he discovers a conspiracy built on perfect paperwork, predictive systems and people powerful enough to make human lives disappear inside official process.

The system says everything was approved.

The dead say otherwise.

From the author

I wrote The Green Tick as a dark conspiracy thriller about the danger of systems that look complete but have stopped asking human questions.

I am making the ebook available free because I want readers more than sales. If you enjoy it, please share the link with someone else who likes conspiracy thrillers.
