THE ALGORITHM'S ALIBI

THE ALGORITHM’S ALIBI

A Mystery Thriller by Mark Atkins

What if your alibi was created before the crime happened?

When a famous true-crime podcaster is found murdered in a locked room, the only witness left behind is her glowing e-reader—still powered on, still counting down, still delivering messages no one can explain.

Detective Mara Kade expects evidence.

Instead, she finds a story writing itself.

Highlighted passages predict future events.

Numbers replace addresses.

Each message arrives just ahead of the next death.

As the bodies pile up, Mara uncovers Project Alibi—a secret system capable of predicting human behavior so precisely it can manufacture perfect, unbreakable alibis before crimes are committed. The technology doesn’t prove innocence. It makes guilt impossible to trace.
