Digital Deception: Neo-Veridia Casefile #001 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798296901477)

In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched canyons of Neo-Veridia, Detective Kaito has seen it all. But when a high-profile Zenith Corporation executive is found dead, it's a crime that's impossibly clean. His entire online existence-his data-ghost-has been wiped from the Grid by a phantom killer.

Out of his depth against a killer who can edit reality, Kaito must hunt down a ghost of his own: a legendary outlaw hacker known only as Nyx, who despises everything he stands for.

Forging a fragile alliance, the grizzled cop and the renegade hacker are pursued by a silent assassin made of chrome and shadow as they plunge into a digital abyss of terrifying secrets. They soon discover this wasn't just a murder; it was the pulling of a thread that could unravel an empire. But in a city where information is the deadliest weapon, the truth won't set them free - it will get them deleted.
