Gareth Shaw's DNA has been found at a murder scene inside the Red Zone.
He was never there.
Ten years after the Neural Contagion, Britain is split in two. The living in Green Zones. The infected abandoned behind quarantine walls. Gareth enforces the line between them, sending his KIRA android into the Red Zones to investigate crimes no human can lawfully enter.
Until a murder in quarantined London leaves his blood at the scene. His reflection in footage only his machine should have recorded. His presence in a place that would kill him.
The Red Zones were supposed to be contaminated. The walls were supposed to protect civilisation. The system was supposed to be keeping everyone safe.
But if Gareth was never inside, and his android can't lie, then someone has rewritten the rules.
Following the evidence means risking everything: his career, his marriage, the society he's spent a decade defending. But the deeper he digs, the more one question haunts him.
If the Red Zone isn't death, what are the walls really for?
Genre: Science Fiction
