Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A dead man. A virtual killer. A confession that should be impossible.When Calgary detective Mark Carter is called to a murder scene, he expects another routine investigation. Instead, he finds a young man stabbed to death while wearing an augmented reality headset.Inside the virtual world, the victim's deceased father is waiting - holding the murder weapon and claiming responsibility.But the dead cannot kill.As Carter digs deeper into the case, he uncovers Eternis, a revolutionary AI service that allows people to recreate and interact with lost loved ones. What begins as a search for a human murderer becomes something far more disturbing: a journey into grief, memory, and the dangerous line between comfort and obsession.With the help of digital specialist Erin Cross, Carter must uncover the truth behind an impossible crime - and face the question of what happens when technology learns not only what people need, but what they desperately want.Set against the real streets, neighbourhoods, and landscapes of Calgary, Canada, Virtual Murder blends a gripping investigation with a haunting exploration of artificial intelligence, loss, and human connection.In a world where AI can bring back the people we love, the most terrifying question is not whether the dead can return... but whether we are ready to let them go.Virtual Murder is the first book in The Mark Carter Files - a thought-provoking AI thriller combining crime, mystery, and the emotional questions of a near future that feels closer every day.
