MIRROR is exposed. The man who ran it is in federal custody.
The programme has already been sold.
Six weeks after the facility. Dr. Alex Carter has the USB drive, the archive, and a name at the top of the Veritas Group's governance documents. She also has an anonymous email:
You found the name. Now find the person. They are not the same thing.
The programme has already been sold.
Six weeks after the facility. Dr. Alex Carter has the USB drive, the archive, and a name at the top of the Veritas Group's governance documents. She also has an anonymous email:
You found the name. Now find the person. They are not the same thing.
The buyer - a private intelligence consortium - has already moved. Seventeen people are living ordinary lives in six cities across three countries, carrying something they don't know they're carrying. Not psychological damage. Not trauma. A conditioning framework, activated toward specific institutional decisions: regulatory approvals, parliamentary recommendations, infrastructure configurations.
Not murder. Something considerably harder to trace. And considerably harder to stop.
Alex has a six-week window before the buyer's pilot programme advances to full activation. She has Mara Selvik - neuroscientist, Pemberton subject, the one person who understands MIRROR's architecture as completely as Alex does. She has Hale, Rhys, and a growing network of people who were shaped by the programme and are now working to dismantle it.
What she doesn't have: the identity of the person above the Veritas structure. The chairman with no name, no face, and twenty-eight years of operational invisibility. The person who received the anonymous email's tip before Alex did. The person who has been watching her since before MIRROR was sold.
The investigation Alex thought she was finishing is the one they wanted her to find.
The one they built for her is something else entirely.
THE VERITAS FRACTURE is a relentlessly intelligent psychological thriller for readers who want their conspiracies to have architecture - and their investigators to be worth following into the dark.
Perfect for readers of The Silent Patient, I Am Pilgrim, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl.
- Edge-of-your-seat pacing that never sacrifices intelligence for speed - A protagonist who is smarter in every chapter than she was in the last - A conspiracy that deepens without ever losing its internal logic - A team being built in real time - and becoming something formidable - An ending that closes the case and opens the abyss beneath it
Book 1 - THE MISSING MIND - available now. Book 3 - THE PEMBERTON SUBJECTS - coming soon.
