Innocent as Charged (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789090414973)

When Antwerp's streets turn violent, the world's drug routes tighten, and justice is left to an AI he created... one man wakes to find he may be the crime scene.

David Halber - an experienced lawyer and professor of criminal procedure - wakes up covered in blood he doesn't remember spilling. His car is missing. His memory is gone. And the woman he once loved is found murdered.

To defend himself, Halber turns against the very AI-driven justice system he helped create. But as he follows the trail through manipulated files, forged evidence, a night he cannot reconstruct - and the shadowy pull of Antwerp's drug-ridden underworld - he discovers something far more dangerous than a killer on the loose: the line between guilt and innocence is no longer a line at all... it's shifting, bending, dissolving beneath his feet.

Every truth he uncovers contradicts the last. Every memory casts a new shadow. And the closer he moves toward the answer, the more he fears that the person he's chasing...might be himself.

Marc De Block delivers a Belgian Noir where justice relies on algorithms, memory becomes fiction and innocence or guilt is only a matter of perspective.
