Description
From internationally bestselling author Daniel Kalla, whose thrillers are "impossible to put down" (Amy Stuart, #1 bestselling author of Death at the Party), comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller about a CEO whose carefully curated life is falling apart. His wife is cheating, someone is stealing from his AI company, and he's just been handed a fatal diagnosis. He'd end it all, if only he could trust his own reality. Liam Hirsch has it all--a loving family, a thriving career as CEO of an AI company, financial security, and a bright future. But when he's diagnosed with a terminal illness, just weeks after discovering his wife's infidelity, his perfect life unravels. As he grapples with his fate, he prepares to face his final days on his own terms. However, unexplained events inside his company make him question everything--including his diagnosis. In a world of deepfake videos, synthetic voices, and digital deception, couldn't these technologies be weaponized against him? What if nothing is as it seems? With time running out, Liam turns to Andrea DeWalt, a private investigator contending with her own feelings of betrayal, to help him uncover a conspiracy that threatens his life, his family, and their future. In a world where nothing is as it seems and every digital footprint can be manipulated, who can Liam trust?
