The Liquid Skin Protocol

In a near-future New York where holographic art flickers through genetically engineered forests, private investigator Kevin Berry prefers low-risk cases and a steady view of Central Park. But when Thelma Harrison the CEO of biotech giant Harrison Biomedical, walks into his office, she brings a high-paying case with high-stakes implications.

Her personal assistant, Isabella Maldonado, has vanished along with sensitive company secrets. Even worse, she used Harrison's own illicit tech to disappear. Liquid Skin, a prototype designed to rewrite faces at the molecular level, has leaked to the black market. Now, Isabella could be anyone.

As Kevin follows a trail of shifting identities, corporate conspiracies, and buried guilt, he begins to question whether he's chasing a thief or an unwilling test subject running for her life.

In a city of ten million faces, the truth wears a mask.
