The God Complex: Book 1 in the Elias Vale Saga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181378865)

Stockholm City is famous for one thing: nobody can lie.

But truth can still be edited.

When private investigator Elias Vale is hired to find a missing husband, the city claims never existed, the case leads him into a maze of erased records, impossible photographs, hidden workers, and civic rituals disguised as maintenance. Alongside Selena Mercer, a detective with her own fractured past, Vale uncovers the machinery beneath Stockholm's polished surface. A system built to manage memory, consume the forgotten, and protect the powerful.

The deeper they dig, the less stable reality becomes.

And at the center of it all stands the tower.

Hard-boiled detective fiction meets cosmic horror in The God Complex, the first Elias Vale case: a noir mystery about vanished people, weaponized truth, and a city that punishes anyone stubborn enough to notice what's missing.
