A Novel by Thomas Langdon
Misread
Tim Martin knew how to read a business. People were harder.
Tim built a successful company by trusting his instincts. The one thing he never learned was when to stop trusting the wrong person.
When a calculated betrayal blindsides him, Tim has to uncover who was behind it before the damage costs him everything he built.
Available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle on Amazon.
The Story
It wasn't a mistake.
It was intentional.
What begins as damage control becomes a fight to uncover who orchestrated the betrayal and how far they are willing to go to protect themselves. The deeper Tim digs, the clearer it becomes that the people around him may not be who he thought they were.
Misread is a story about deception, power, loyalty, and the point where justice starts to look a lot like revenge.
Meet Some of the Characters
Everyone sees part of the picture. No one sees all of it.
These are some of the people who move through Misread. In Tim Martin’s world, business, friendship, loyalty, and ambition overlap—and what someone appears to be is not always the whole story.
