Description

FBI agents Chris Shane and Leslie Vann investigate a baffling death connected to Hilketa, a brutally competitive sport played by remotely controlled robotic bodies. As more Hayden-related victims emerge, the case draws them into a maze of hidden affairs, jealous rivalries, and dangerous secrets that reaches far beyond the arena. Blending fast-paced crime fiction with sharp speculation about disability, identity, artificial intelligence, and the limits of technology, the novel explores what it means to live in a world where consciousness can inhabit machines. Witty, suspenseful, and richly imagined, it continues the provocative near-future mystery begun in *Lock In*.
