Four and a half years ago, Robert Donaldson entered the Wellington Firm believing he was being evaluated for a job.
Now he sits on the other side of the glass.
Robert has become one of Wellington's architects, designing the elaborate psychological sequences used to expose what candidates hide from everyone else, including themselves. He understands the rooms, the cameras, the carefully manufactured pressure. He understands the system because he has survived it.
At least, he believes he does.
Then a candidate looks directly into a camera she should not know exists and says his name.
The moment opens a door into a part of Wellington's history Robert was never meant to see. What he discovers forces him to reconsider the institution he serves, the people who built it, and his own place inside a system whose deepest secrets have survived for decades.
Some questions have been waiting a very long time for someone willing to ask them.
And at Wellington, answers always come with consequences.
The Architect, the second novel in the Wellington Firm series, is a slow-burning psychological suspense novel about secrecy, institutional power, moral compromise, and what happens when the observer finally realizes he may still be part of the experiment.
