A Forged in Silence Novel
Benjamin U. Day is a former Air Force special operations airman who learned long ago that silence is sometimes the only thing that keeps you alive.
Now living a quiet life in rural Maine, Bud works as a senior federal analyst overseeing agricultural aid and refugee farming programs-work meant to rebuild lives, restore dignity, and bring order where there was once chaos. It should be routine. It isn't.
When small inconsistencies surface-misused grants, missing paperwork, families who don't quite exist-Bud begins to suspect that a well-intentioned aid system is being quietly exploited. What starts as an audit becomes an investigation. What becomes an investigation turns into a hunt.
As Bud follows the money from remote farms to Washington, D.C., he discovers a sophisticated fraud network protected by bureaucracy, political pressure, and layers of federal oversight designed to look the other way. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes-not just for him, but for the very communities the programs were meant to protect.
Haunted by his past and drawn back to the wilderness where he finds clarity, Bud is forced to confront an old truth: predators don't always live in the forest. Sometimes they wear suits. Sometimes they write policy. And sometimes they're watching him too.
The Boar in the Pines is a gripping, cerebral thriller about accountability, moral restraint, and the thin line between oversight and survival. Blending quiet tension with sharp intelligence, it explores modern fraud, federal power, and the cost of standing up when silence would be safer.
This is not a story about exploiting communities-it is about defending them. And it is the opening chapter in a trilogy where truth, once uncovered, refuses to stay buried.
