RETICENT

Every truth leaves evidence.

Robert “The Truth” Clevin has built his life on seeing what everyone else misses.

A brilliant analyst with an unusual academic background in photography, anthropology, economics, law, and accounting, Robert is known for one thing above all else: he is almost never wrong. Patterns speak to him. People reveal themselves. Systems betray their secrets.

Then the evidence begins to change.
A photograph captures a man who was never there.
A security camera disappears from a wall as though it had never existed.

University records rewrite Robert’s past.
Memories he trusts no longer match the world around him.
And somewhere inside a classified system, a hidden project has begun tracking his every move.

Robert turns to the one person capable of making him question himself—Kirsten Gemma Stone, the woman he calls Key. Independent, perceptive, and impossible for him to reduce to a pattern, Kirsten becomes his anchor as the boundaries between memory, technology, identity, and reality begin to collapse.

But when messages appear that know details neither of them has shared, Robert discovers the conspiracy may reach much further than surveillance.
Someone is not simply hiding the truth.
Someone is rewriting it.

And Robert may be the only person who remembers what existed before.

Part espionage thriller, part psychological mystery, and part reality-bending science fiction, RETICENT launches a high-stakes series about intelligence, perception, manipulation, and the one thing no system has ever completely learned to control:
Truth.
