Ghosts in the Code

In the polished corridors of Avalon’s most powerful conglomerate, a C-suite vacancy ignites a silent war. When a brilliant executive is found dead in his glass-walled office, the initial verdict of suicide barely conceals the scent of digital murder. In a world where identity can be rewritten as easily as a line of code, an investigating attorney discovers that the perfect crime leaves no fingerprints—only phantom data. With every encrypted file and forged biometric trail, a faceless adversary eliminates rivals through slander, poison, and the ultimate weapon: a stolen self. This is a battle fought not between people, but between the ghosts they can be programmed to become.
