My Deranged Boss

A gripping workplace thriller about corporate fraud, a toxic boss, and three ordinary people who decide enough is enough.

Emily Harris is used to starting over. After months of unemployment following a brutal layoff, a new job as office manager at RT Construction feels like exactly the break she needed. On paper, the company looks legitimate. In reality, it takes about three hours for the cracks to show.

The bank account holds twelve dollars. Vendor invoices have been corrected with white-out. Subcontractors are threatening to walk off job sites over unpaid bills. And then the boss arrives. Ragina Thomas pulls into the parking lot in a brand-new leased Bentley, wearing a designer suit that costs more than Emily's rent, gold jewelry flashing in the morning sun. She holds a staff meeting to announce her latest Vegas networking trip. She screams at her employees. She orders Emily to tell a creditor the check is in the mail.

The check is not in the mail. There is no money. And the deeper Emily looks, the worse it gets.

Forged bank statements stuffed in a folder marked Marketing. Shell company loans taken out in employee names without their knowledge. A company credit card running up thousands in designer bags while the office printer runs out of ink. Behind the chaos stands Ragina, paranoid, volatile, and utterly convinced she is untouchable.

But Emily is not alone. Alongside her sharp, quietly fearless colleague Felicity and quick-witted Jasper, she begins building something Ragina never anticipated. A paper trail. A record. A case.

In a workplace where loyalty is weaponised and silence is survival, speaking up could cost everything. Staying quiet already is.

My Deranged Boss is a fast-paced crime fiction debut for readers who love workplace thrillers, white collar crime stories, and whistleblower fiction with real stakes and characters worth rooting for.
