After publishing bestselling books on business strategy and advising corporate executives on systems and power, Matthew E. May found himself drawn to the same themes in fiction—only messier, more human. Agnostic to format, he explores conspiracies, corruption, and the secrets that bind or break families, writing historical mysteries and real event-based thrillers with modern thematic resonance, where ordinary people use their personal capabilities to overcome massive challenges and discover what it costs to take on those in control.
