In a world of high-tech deceit, where memories are weapons and truth is a fragile illusion, Detective Morgan Reed must decipher his own past to survive.

Detective Morgan Reed is back on the force, but the digital landscape he once knew has evolved into a treacherous realm of shadow games and shifting allegiances. Thrust into an investigation surrounding the enigmatic High Rock Holdings and Spectre Group, he soon discovers the Kraken—a next-gen tech weapon with chilling accuracy.

Yet, the deeper Reed digs, the more personal the stakes become, with ties to his own haunted past and a murdered friend, Dontae Black. Teamed with the astute Detective Natalie “Nat” De La Cruz, the duo unravels a tapestry of betrayal, crime rings, and covert tech conspiracies.

But as the truth edges closer, Reed must confront a harrowing question: In a world where trust is just a byte away from betrayal, who can you really believe?

From Raquel Byrnes and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brian Shea comes Retrograde Flaw, where every digital footprint leads to an unexpected twist, and the line between ally and adversary is but a click away. A must-read for fans of Michael Crichton and David Baldacci.
