The Desire Index

In the rain-drenched city of Port Meridian, Inspector Lucien Vasseur uncovers a string of aristocratic suicides and bloody inheritances tied to flawless antique forgeries. His investigation leads to a shadowy algorithm known as the Desire Index, developed by a whistleblowing academic from the infamous Dunnigan v. Avalon University case. In the spirit of Georges Simenon, this noir novel explores how an algorithm understands our darkest obsessions better than we do, weaving a tapestry of greed, deception, and the inescapable pull of hidden desire.
