Review & Description
Privacy is dead. The world has traded secrecy and the illusion of private life for Hathor-a surveillance database that offers the public convenience and pleasure, as well as a drastic reduction in crime. Hathor's all-seeing eye quickly finds those who dare to break the law and hands them over to the authorities, watching them every step of the way.
But there are "ghosts" in the system, rare individuals who walk the world unseen by Hathor. They use incredible resources to scheme, steal, and kill under a long-forgotten veil of secrecy. Most people don't even know these ghosts exist, but those who do have found a talented few to track them down and serve their due justice. These special agents work for the Ghost Targets division of the FBI.
Katie Pratt, brand new to Ghost Targets, receives her first case: the murder of a young woman in an empty office building in downtown Little Rock, and as she investigates she uncovers the impossible. Hathor's record of the murder has been blacked out and the killer has gotten away without a trace.
On the hunt for a ghost, Katie discovers the blackout represents a worse threat than a single unsolved murder. Someone who could blind Hathor like that could destroy the system...and all of modern society with it. Read more
