A Platinum architect. A Hard Knock city. A system designed to let the weak fall through.
Marcus Thorne was the master of Spatial Optimization. He spent decades designing elite skyscrapers for the Vanguard Corporation, living at the pinnacle of a merit-based world. But when a diagnosis of advanced Parkinson's begins to freeze his body, Marcus discovers that his own architecture has been turned into a weapon.
Trapped in the Off state of a neurological blackout, Marcus is moved to the Newark district-a Sinks-Zone where the Stability Consortium uses actuarial math to Audit high-cost patients out of existence. Denied the life-sustaining medication that keeps him mobile, Marcus must team up with a relentless legal aid attorney to fight a war of discovery.
From the wood-paneled courtrooms of New Jersey to the chilling server rooms of corporate giants, The Audit is a high-stakes legal thriller about the Shadow Math of insurance, the corruption of regulatory capture, and one man's desperate race to deconstruct the Sieve he helped build before his own time runs out.
The math is cold. The truth is harder.
