The nation's biggest unsolved case. A retired detective who never let it go. And a dead girl who just came back.
It's 2064, and Harry Abbott is alone. His wife is gone, he's trapped in a care home run by an all-seeing AI, and the world outside has gone to hell. When the staff foist a Flickering Friend on him - a hologram companion designed to keep the old folk docile - Harry wants nothing to do with it.
But then something strange happens. The hologram glitches, and in its place appears a teenage girl. A girl Harry recognises. A girl who vanished forty years ago in the case that destroyed his career and haunted him every day since...
Is the vanished girl really back? Or is Harry losing his mind? To find out the truth, he'll have to leave the safety of the twelfth storey of the Albert Care Home, and step into a world far more dangerous than the one he remembers. And what he discovers about Rhea's disappearance will upend everything he thinks he knows...
A pulse-pounding speculative thriller packed with action and twists, Girl in the Machine is perfect for anyone who loved the futuristic thrillers from John Marrs, Blake Crouch or Stuart Turton.
