At 2:17 a.m., Ethan Vale receives a notification that his daughter's birth certificate has been deleted.
By sunrise, her school has no record of her. Her medical history is gone. Her Social Security number belongs to someone else. Even family photographs begin to change.
Then the police arrive-and according to their records, Ethan has no daughter.
Soon, his wife is next.
Ethan knows this isn't a glitch.
Before becoming a husband, father, and respected cybersecurity professional, Ethan lived another life under another name. A gifted hacker, he helped create something that was never supposed to survive.
JANUS.
Built on a terrifying premise, JANUS exploits a fundamental weakness of the modern world: a person's identity exists because countless interconnected systems agree it does.
Birth records. Banks. Hospitals. Government databases. Every digital trace reinforces the same conclusion.
But what happens when those systems are manipulated to tell a different story?
JANUS doesn't need to kill someone to make them disappear. It can erase the evidence they ever existed.
And now Ethan's family is its target.
With only seventy-two hours to stop the erasure, Ethan must confront the secrets of his past and outmaneuver an intelligence that knows his methods, anticipates his decisions, and appears to understand his own history better than he does.
Every discovery brings him closer to the truth. Every answer raises the stakes.
Because JANUS isn't simply erasing Ethan's family.
It's waiting to see what he'll do to get them back.
The Last Known Name is a gripping, high-stakes techno-thriller exploring artificial intelligence, digital identity, buried secrets, and the lengths one father will go to protect his family.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cybersecurity conspiracies, psychological suspense, intelligent technological thrillers, and stories where nothing-not even your own existence-can be trusted.
