The Logic of Ruin

In the nation of Meridia, the landmark fraud case Duncan v. PharmaGuard Solutions has exposed how spread pricing and hidden rebates condemned thousands to death by making life-saving drugs unaffordable. As public fury boils over, a masked executioner known as "The Prescriber" begins assassinating PharmaGuard executives with pharmaceutical precision. Brilliant criminal profiler Dr. Elara Vance is summoned by the Federal Investigative Service to dismantle the killer’s logic. But as she deciphers a mind sculpted by unconscionable loss, her own suppressed grief ignites. Logic, her last bastion, shatters under the weight of a devastating empathy that turns hunter into protector—and finally, into accomplice.
