Book Synopsis

''An extraordinary novel'' Observer

It is the greatest truth of our age: information is not knowledge.

Manhattan, September 13, 2023. Vera Price''s husband has been murdered, and she wants criminal psychologist Dr Gideon Wolfe to investigate. On a disk she gives Gideon is the information that almost certainly cost her husband his life. For America is still in shock after the murder of its President, and the disk suggests the wrong man has been convicted.

The world is drowning in information. And in a sea of unregulated and unverifiable facts, the truth is harder and harder to find. And as Gideon discovers, although there are those who want to put an end to this, their actions have dangerous consequences, not just for him, but for the whole world, for time itself. . .

From the massively bestselling author of The Alienist - soon to be a major TV show - comes the most ambitious thriller of our time.
