Remote Execution

In the wake of a multi-million-dollar pandemic loan fraud, a series of impossible murders rocks the city of Port Halcyon. Victims die from electrocution by their own home appliances, contaminated water, and traffic systems gone haywire. Federal Cybercrimes Prosecutor Elara Vance discovers the killings are not random—they are a silent purge, executed by an anonymous hacker who has turned the city's power grid and water supply into a weapon. The killer leaves no physical trace, hiding behind a wall of encryption and the cowardice of the digital crowd. As Vance races to unmask the architect of this remote death, she uncovers a conspiracy rooted in the very fraud she once prosecuted, and a terrifying truth: on the other side of the screen, anyone can be an executioner.
