What if the only thing standing between you and freedom is the algorithm you created?
Dr. Zoe Reeves didn't just build Veritas-she revolutionized justice itself. Her AI lie detector boasts a 98% accuracy rate, analyzing microexpressions and vocal patterns that betray deception in milliseconds. Courtrooms across America trust it. Prosecutors depend on it. Forty-three convicted criminals can't refute it. Then Zoe's ex-husband turns up dead. When detectives run her alibi through Veritas, the verdict is swift and merciless: DECEPTION DETECTED. The algorithm she spent seven years perfecting has just accused her of murder.
Now Zoe faces an impossible dilemma. To prove her innocence, she must convince a jury that Veritas-the technology that's never been wrong-is lying. But destroying her life's work means invalidating every conviction it ever secured. Including the guilty ones. As her trial date looms, Zoe discovers something far more sinister than a single murder: someone has been manipulating Veritas for years, manufacturing false confessions and planting evidence. Innocent people are rotting in prison because of her corrupted code. Her ex-husband discovered the truth. That's why he had to die.
Racing against a two-week deadline, Zoe must decode her own algorithm, expose a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the justice system, and confront a terrifying possibility: what if she did program Veritas to frame herself, and she just can't remember doing it? In a world where artificial intelligence determines guilt or innocence, one woman discovers that the most devastating lies aren't the ones we tell others-they're the ones we tell ourselves. The truth will set you free. Unless the truth is programmed to destroy you.
A gripping fusion of courtroom drama, tech thriller, and psychological suspense that will make you question everything you thought you knew about truth, justice, and the price of innovation.
