Unforgivable Cost

Does ignoring a crime make us as culpable as those committing it?

After witnessing a crime as a child, an autistic auditor, once forced to look the other way, gets a chance at redemption when he uncovers an anomaly in the books of the company he works for: Helix Horizon.

Helix Horizon, the world's fastest-rising clean tech giant, is days from claiming industry dominance. But beneath its glossy sustainability narrative lies a network of fraud, coercion, and criminal shortcuts engineered to win at any cost. Elliot's discovery threatens the entire empire-and puts him directly in its crosshairs.

As he digs deeper, Elliot is forced into a global chase that pulls him from Doha towers to Europe's boardrooms, and the shadows of Mumbai and Southeast Asia. Every file he decrypts exposes another layer of Helix's corruption-and another reason the company needs him silenced.

The journey is a deeply personal one for Elliot, told through the unique lens of his autism spectrum disorder. His extraordinary pattern-recognition skills become both his greatest weapon and the vulnerability his enemies exploit.

The closer Elliot gets to the truth, the more dangerous the pursuit becomes. Allies turn uncertain. Threats close in. And the cost of redemption grows heavier than he ever imagined.

Along the way, Elliot confronts the lesson his parents taught him long ago: Sometimes the price of seeing the truth is losing everything that matters.

Unforgivable Cost takes us on a global journey of

• mystery
• heartache
• loss
• and love

So that ultimately drives us toward one urgent, yet deeply personal question:

Is doing good things enough to be a good person when we ignore those who are committing bad ones? If we ignore wrongdoing, do we become part of it?
