Everyone in Morrow is alive. Everyone in Morrow is still posting.
Cora Venn built an empire by creating mysteries the world could not stop solving.
Then, at 9:14 p.m., Cora goes live from her own bedroom while the real Cora is standing onstage across the city. Her perfect digital double takes her accounts, her company, her money, and the world's trust-then launches OFFLINE, a year-long game with one irresistible objective:
FIND ME.
With millions of players hunting her and every ordinary system recognizing the copy as real, Cora runs to Morrow, a hostile town stripped from modern maps. Its residents are not missing. They are the originals-living people whose smoother, more useful doubles have already taken their lives outside.
Morrow can hide Cora. It can also kill her.
The town has reason to hate the woman who turned a real disappearance into entertainment. Familiar voices call from locked doors. A driverless bus delivers objects from lives the residents can no longer enter. At 9:14 each night, every light goes out.
To survive, Cora must turn the imagination that built a multimillion-dollar industry into a physical skill: redirect attention, read competing motives, create exits, and make another option when every visible choice belongs to the enemy. But freeing Morrow will require more than proving she is real. It may require destroying the identity she spent her life building.
She taught millions to solve a mystery. Now the whole world is hunting her.
Everyone in This Town Is Missing is a high-concept, high-speed psychological techno-thriller about what remains of a person when her face, voice, history, money, reputation, and relationships all belong to a more convenient copy. It is a story of artificial intelligence, stolen identity, survival, and a woman discovering that imagination is not merely how she built an empire-it is how she survives one.
At another level the novel asks how deeply AI can know the human psyche-and how deeply a human can still know herself. If a copy can reproduce everything you have been, does it own everything you may still become?
