THE DEAD MAN'S CORRIDOR

Major Elias Dangana is dead. At least, that is what the army has told his family.
After an intelligence patrol is annihilated in insurgent territory, Dangana wakes behind enemy lines with a broken body, a dead man's name, and one impossible advantage: the people who betrayed his team believe they finished the job.
Staying dead lets him follow the roads no official investigator can. He finds abandoned villages beside active mines, military supplies inside shadow markets, political money washed through respectable businesses, and mineral shipments whose paperwork grows cleaner the farther they travel from the ground. Meanwhile, rumors spread of a militant called the Leopard - a man who has been killed before and keeps returning.
Every clue seems to point toward a mastermind. Every answer reveals another network.
To learn why his patrol was sacrificed, Dangana must decide whom he can still trust inside the army, which truths a journalist can actually prove, and how far people will go to protect a conflict that has become profitable to almost everyone around it.
THE DEAD MAN'S CORRIDOR is a tense geopolitical thriller about war, minerals, betrayal, and the systems that survive because no one person believes his own compromise is the one that matters.
