About this book

Scott A. Stowell sets this mystery thriller in a future shaped by billionaire influence and AI-driven progress. At the center is Everhaven, a carefully engineered refuge meant to deliver safety, stability, long life, and lasting well-being. This self-sustaining city promises a life free of financial strain, with every part of daily existence guided by exact biometric systems in service of comfort and order.

That vision begins to crack when unusual patterns appear in the city’s death records. What starts as an internal inquiry by a corporate insurer into possible financial issues soon opens onto something much larger. As the investigation pushes deeper, it reveals the darker side of a place built to remove uncertainty, raising sharp questions about technology, power, and what happens when a flawless system stops feeling human.
