Venice. A city of beauty, history... and things that don't stay buried.
Hetty Columbo didn't come to solve a murder.
She came for a weekend of Agatha Christie panels, polite conversation, and people who understood why details matter.
Then a man dies by the canal.
A powerful tech visionary collapses after a call from his own artificial intelligence system. A leading researcher is found unconscious in her hotel room. And somewhere inside the walls of a Venetian palazzo, something is already moving-quietly, precisely, and with purpose.
Hetty isn't a detective.
She's better than that.
Thirty-two years in planning taught her one thing:
what people say they're building is never quite what they're building.
As she begins to ask the questions no one else is asking, a pattern emerges:
- A network of people connected long before they arrived in Venice
- A machine that may be acting with its own logic
- And a decision already in motion... with consequences no one can stop
Because this isn't just a murder.
It's a system.
And it's already working.
