"A truly unique protagonist fuels plenty of action and intrigue in this smart and twisty SF thriller." - Kirkus Reviews

It’s 2052. Ellen Pompeii, the billionaire who perfected brain-implant technology, is found dead under mysterious circumstances in Los Angeles. The law enforcement response is swift and brutal because her death raises questions the establishment doesn’t want to be answered.

Has the integrity of the chip technology been compromised? Could the chips be hacked? And if so, does that mean someone could control the behavior of the billions who rely on them?

Jenny Sixa, a powerful telepath, is brought in by LAPD’s Derrick Trent to solve Pompeii’s murder. But when Jenny finds nothing in Pompeii’s final thoughts, the mystery deepens. How was she killed, and why are authorities desperate to close the case?

As an innocent man is rushed through the justice system toward execution, evidence mounts that the technology, vital to human existence for the wealthy and a barrier to success for the poor, has been compromised. To stop the execution, Jenny and the corrupt cop, Derrick, must follow a dangerous trail of deceit and exploitation. But powerful forces will stop at nothing to ensure the truth stays buried—and an innocent man meets his fate.
