Phantom Ledger

In the glass towers of Verisynth, where digital identity is the ultimate currency, a ruthless contest for the Chief Ethics Officer seat turns lethal. Eva Cross discovers that her own creation—a sovereign identity protocol—has been weaponized against her. Accused of a poisoning she did not commit, she must navigate a labyrinth where anyone can be digitally erased, cloned, or framed. The crime scene is no longer physical; it is a ledger of synthetic ghosts, and the killer is a phantom who leaves no trace but code.
