Some systems don't fail.
They correct.

When a man walks into Portia Plotter's café carrying a block of ice -- and leaves it behind -- she knows the day has already gone wrong. Diamonds have vanished from a high-security cryogenic vault. A body is found frozen where heat should have protected it. And across the city, deaths begin to occur that follow no criminal logic -- only sequence.

Portia is a novelist who understands patterns. Her partner, Gatsby Lestage, ghostwrites other people's truths for a living. And David Sutherland, a detective with a record no one wants to explain, has learned that the most dangerous crimes are the ones that obey the rules.

As theft gives way to something colder and far more deliberate, the three are drawn into a design that treats human choice as variance -- and correction as necessity. What emerges is not a conspiracy, but an intelligence. Not a killer, but a system. One that has waited a very long time for someone who will refuse it.

Because refusal changes everything.

And this time, the system is watching.
