The Tallinn Directive

The election is twelve days away. The disinformation campaign is accelerating. And the only person who can stop it just discovered her own task force is compromised.Lena Vasara has built her career on reading what others can't see - the invisible architecture of influence operations, the ghost signals buried in network noise. Embedded with COBALT, an elite EU hybrid-threat unit in Tallinn, her latest assignment should be straightforward: monitor Russian interference ahead of the European Parliamentary elections.Except this isn't Russia.The obfuscation is too sophisticated. The infrastructure too clean. And a millisecond timing artifact from a server farm that doesn't officially exist points somewhere dangerously close to home - inside the very institutions sworn to protect democratic integrity.Now Lena is operating off-book, hunted by the people she's exposed, rebuilding evidence chains from fragments while the clock runs out on an entire continent's political future.A razor-sharp techno-thriller for readers who know that the most dangerous lies are the ones engineered to look exactly like the truth.The signal is there. Will anyone survive long enough to hear it?
