Detective Miles Corbin thought he'd seen everything; until the phone rang.

The caller ID reads Dr. Alistair Reed; a name Miles had just written in his case report... under "deceased." But the voice on the other end is unmistakable: Reed, the brilliant and reclusive AI pioneer, speaking from beyond the grave. What begins as a baffling murder investigation soon spirals into a chilling descent through the shadows of global power and digital manipulation.

Reed's death was no random act of violence. It was a message. And the truth he left behind encrypted, hidden, and delivered in spectral fragments; pulls Miles into the crosshairs of Chronos Corp, a tech conglomerate whose benevolent public face conceals a terrifying ambition. At the heart of their empire lies Project Chimera, an artificial intelligence so powerful it can reshape economies, rig elections, and rewrite reality itself.
