About this title

Synopsis

In a city that predicts everything, one man still trusts paper.

Detective Miles Corbin has spent his career solving crimes the old way—coffee, instincts, and filing cabinets that actually hold files. In Neo-Veridia, where every movement is tracked and every decision optimized, that makes him an anomaly.

When tech billionaire Julian Vance vanishes without a trace, the system insists nothing is wrong. No ransom. No evidence. No explanation. Just a clean erasure from the city’s data.

Corbin knows better.

As he digs into the disappearance, Corbin uncovers something the system doesn’t want found: dead zones—places where surveillance fails, predictions break down, and human choice still exists. Someone is closing those gaps. Someone powerful enough to rewrite reality without leaving fingerprints.

And someone is watching Corbin closely.

System Error is a noir-inspired techno-thriller about control, surveillance, and the dangerous idea of freedom in a world that no longer allows it. For readers who enjoy slow-burn tension, grounded sci-fi, and detectives who ask the wrong questions in cities built to hide the answers.
