Full Description

When private detective Jack Thorne receives an urgent call from his best friend Michael Harrison, he expects another routine case. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a mystery that will challenge everything he thinks he knows about reality itself.
Mike has woken up next to a dead woman in a luxury London hotel with no memory of how he got there. The victim is the daughter of a powerful Russian crime boss, and all evidence points to Mike's guilt. But as Jack and his partner Paige begin to investigate, they discover that this is far more than a simple murder case.
Through the transformed streets of London, along a Thames that flows with temporal energy, and into realms that transcend space and time, Jack and his team uncover a cosmic conspiracy that threatens not just their reality, but the very nature of existence. What began as a murder mystery evolves into a journey that will transform their understanding of consciousness, reality, and the ultimate purpose of existence itself.
From noir thriller to metaphysical journey, this genre-defying novel explores the boundaries between choice and destiny, unity and separation, reality and possibility. As Jack races to solve the crime that began it all, he finds himself at the centre of a transformation that will affect not just his world, but all possible worlds.
