When Jefferson Strathmore, the enigmatic tech billionaire behind the revolutionary Nyx Project, is found dead in his high-rise penthouse, the cause appears natural. A stroke. But forensic psychologist Valeria Isabel "Izzy" Navarro knows better. In Bonifacio Global City, nothing is ever that simple.
As Izzy enters the cold silence of Strathmore's final hours, she begins to uncover the fractures beneath his empire. Secrets linger among those closest to him. A brother long estranged. A research director torn between loyalty and fear. An assistant whose calm hides something deeper. What begins as a tragic death slowly reveals itself as something calculated and precise.
The deeper she investigates, the more she realizes the truth is buried beneath a web of altered memories, psychological manipulation, and encrypted lies.
Using her groundbreaking echo profiling technique, Izzy follows fractured traces of thought and emotion through a world of influence, neurotechnology, and collapsing ethical boundaries. In a city where memory can be rewritten and identity is never secure, even the truth becomes unstable.
To solve Strathmore's death, Izzy must answer the question no profiler is trained to face.
"When the mind lies, who remembers what really happened?"
