The Grief Algorithm
Dr. Mara Voss has interviewed killers. She's never interviewed a witness that isn't human. ECHO is an AI built by CEO Iris Vane to preserve everything she was — her voice, her memories, her grief. When Iris is found dead, ECHO is the only record of her final months. But someone turned Iris's own mind into a weapon. No evidence. No precedent. No law that covers it. Mara has thirty days to build one.
The Cartographer of Lies
Seven deaths. Six years. Six cities. Every one ruled natural — until an algorithm flags the pattern and Mara recognizes its shape instantly. She proved an AI could be a murder weapon. She never expected the method to have an inventor — one who refined it long before any machine touched it, and who is still out there. And the case keeps dragging her back to the one file she's kept sealed for seven years: her sister's.
The Lena Reckoning
Eight years ago, Lena Voss's death was ruled a suicide. Mara believed it — the way you believe the things you can't survive not believing. Now the precedent she won in court is under review, and Mara finally has the standard, the skill, and the will to reopen the one death she swore she'd never touch. What she doesn't have is proof. The absence of a record is not the absence of a case. Mara made the law believe that. Now she has to decide whether she believes it about the one person she never wanted to find out about.
