The brand-new thriller featuring DCS Kat Frank and AIDE Lock, from the award-winning Sunday Times bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye.

Human suspicion. AI manipulation.
When truth can be rewritten, who can you trust?

DCS Kat Frank is back at the Future Policing Unit after a devastating loss - and straight into her most disturbing case yet.

On Halloween night, a local MP is found murdered. Beside the body is a taunting message in binary code, aimed directly at Kat:

Catch me if you can.

The victim was a vocal opponent of AI. The motive looks political. But as Kat investigates with her partner, AIDE Lock - the world’s first AI detective - the case spirals into something far more dangerous.

Then a cyberattack takes down the National Grid.

With the country in chaos and lives on the line, Kat and Lock must track a killer who is always one step ahead. But in a world of deepfakes, deception and digital ghosts, instinct is no longer enough.

Kat must decide whether to trust the one thing she still fears most: her AI partner.

Because this time, Lock may not just be solving the case.

He may be changing what it means to be human.

Can Kat stop a killer before the lights go out for good?

This has been such an enjoyable series. It’s such an innovative premise and all too realistic. I listened to books 1-3 again and carried straight on with book 4. It’s hard to write a review without spoilers, so I’m just going to say that this is an exceptional book and will have a high spot in my top 10 audiobooks. So clever, so believable and have tissues at the ready.

Wow!

This series is a 10/10. The author describes so well fictional events that are completely believable and cleverly entwines the pros and cons of AI. The research must have been phenomenal to bring these books to life and adds another dimension to me as I am from the Midlands where a lot of the plots are set. This last book did the series justice and was a magnificent story line. Highly recommend and great narration too.

An outstanding series!

I have listened to all the cat and lock series and they are well written and fast moving. This is probably my favourite but I always think that when I come to the end of any of the books in this series.

Absolutely gripping from beginning to end
