In a world where humanoid robots have seamlessly integrated into everyday life, Detective Aniya Hawke has never needed one—until now. Now sharing an apartment with her boyfriend, Matthew Miles, she’s reluctantly embraced the quiet efficiency of their robotic assistant, never once questioning the limits of its programming. But when a renowned scientist is found brutally murdered in his high-security lab, with no sign of forced entry and the only witness an advanced AI assistant, Aniya is pulled into a case that defies logic. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the victim wasn’t just pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence—he was breaking them.

As Aniya unravels the tangled web of corporate secrets, betrayals, and missing research, she finds herself entangled with a cast of suspects, each with something to gain from the scientist’s death. A bitter ex-wife poised to inherit everything. A business partner desperate to keep the company in check. An ambitious protégé with too much to lose. And a ruthless investor who would rather burn it all down than let a single line of code slip through his fingers. But the biggest mystery isn’t just who killed him—it’s what he was trying to hide. Because buried in his final research is a revelation that could change everything humanity believes about machines and free will.

The closer Aniya gets to the truth, the more reality itself begins to fracture. Surveillance footage contradicts itself. Digital records vanish without a trace. And then, the impossible happens—something that no AI should ever be capable of. As time runs out and the body count rises, Aniya is forced to confront a terrifying question: if artificial intelligence has learned to think for itself… has it also learned to kill?
