The Glass Pulse

In the cold wake of a police shooting in the faded industrial town of Ashwick, a profoundly isolated archivist named Tobias Vane drifts into the dark web’s encrypted corridors. Consumed by a fantasy of hiring an untraceable assassin via Bitcoin to avenge the death, he fails to see that the lethal transaction exists only in his splintering mind—until a retired hacker resurfaces to follow a money trail that leads not to a killer for hire, but to a lonely man who has mistaken his own reflection for a ghost.
