The Eighth Layer: Where Security Ends and Judgement Begins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185161517)

At Rampur District Hospital, most problems arrive with symptoms.

This one arrives as a discrepancy.

It is small enough to ignore. Easy enough to explain away. The kind
of irregularity that disappears beneath paperwork, routines, and the
quiet compromises that keep an institution moving.

But some things do not disappear.

When Rajiv Sharma, the hospital's IT In-charge, finds an access log
that makes no sense, he faces a choice that no procedure manual has
prepared him for. What follows is not a dramatic investigation. It
is something quieter and more unsettling - the slow uncovering of
how an institution fails, one small decision at a time.

The Eighth Layer is a novel about data, privacy, and
accountability. About the people inside institutions who notice
things others would rather not examine. And about what it costs
to do the right thing when the system is built to make that
difficult.

Because every institution has its explanations.
Every system has its procedures.
Every failure has someone else to blame.

Until it doesn't.
