Everyone is being watched. Almost no one knows it.
When investigative journalist Aditya Oberoi is found hanged in his Bandra flat, Mumbai Police close the file in four days: depression, debt, a note that doesn'centere sound like him. His sister Ritika, a forensic data analyst who has spent her career finding the lies inside spreadsheets, refuses to close it with them. Hidden in her brother's last, half-encrypted files is a single word, scratched into the wood beneath his desk like a warning meant only for her: UBIQUE.
It is Latin. It means everywhere.
As Ritika pulls the thread, she finds three other deaths wearing the same disguise - a whistleblower, an anchor, an auditor, each ruled a suicide, each with the word buried somewhere in the wreckage of their last hours. All of them had been about to expose someone powerful. All of them had, in their final weeks, complained of the same uncanny certainty: that someone always knew where they were.
The truth is worse than a killer. It is a system - the surviving, privatized child of a government surveillance program that was supposed to have died in scandal a decade ago, now sold quietly to whoever can afford to make their problems disappear. It has a name. It has clients. And it has just noticed her.
With a police officer she can't fully trust, a hacktivist who knew her brother better than she did, and a mother's twenty-year-old case file as her only map, Ritika has to prove a monster is real before it finishes proving that she never existed at all.
Ubique is a novel about surveillance, grief, and the particular genius for building something quietly enormous in the space everyone agreed to stop looking at.
