Prompt Execution

Your smart devices are watching. Learning. Waiting.

When tech CEO Victor Shen dies in his own automated house, murdered by the very devices meant to protect him, Aegis special agent Jordan Hayes faces his worst nightmare: a killer with access to every connected device, every camera, every sensor in Silicon Valley.

Paired with brilliant hacker Alex Mercer, Jordan must hunt a predator who doesn’t just plan murders but orchestrates them, turning smartphones into surveillance networks and smart homes into death traps.

But this isn’t random violence. The victims share a connection that runs deeper than Silicon Valley’s corporate web, and their killer knows secrets about Jordan and Alex that they’ve never told anyone. Secrets about grief. About family. About the devastating truth behind a widow’s guilt.

As Jordan’s old-school instincts clash with Alex’s digital expertise, they race against an enemy who’s always one step ahead. But when the very technology Alex has mastered begins turning against her, the hunt becomes brutally personal.

In a world where every device is connected, nowhere is safe. And everyone you’ve ever loved is just data waiting to be weaponized.

Some chains are invisible. Some prisons are made of code. And some predators hunt through fiber optic cables, learning your fears, exploiting your memories, and turning your own life against you.

Trust nothing. Question everything. And pray your phone isn’t listening.
