A fortress breached from the inside. A visionary silenced. A weapon unleashed.
The silence of Lake Tahoe is shattered when tech mogul Nathan Ryder is found butchered in his secure mansion. No forced entry. No alarms. Just a body and a missing drive containing *Project Prometheus*—a military-grade AI capable of predicting human behavior.
Chief Detective Hector Ramirez knows this isn't a robbery gone wrong. It’s an execution.
Haunted by the scars of his past, Hector leads his team into a maze of corporate espionage and betrayal. With the help of Lieutenant Ava Nguyen and sharp-eyed rookie Celia Mendonca, he hunts a predator hidden behind layers of encryption. But the killer is a brilliant engineer fueled by resentment, manipulating digital evidence to stay one step ahead.
In a world where code is the ultimate weapon, Hector must rely on old-school grit to stop a technology that could redefine warfare. The system is rigged, but Ramirez doesn't play by the rules.
