Deleted at Dawn

In the Gilded Cloud, death is just a glitch. You don't die; you just respawn at your last save point.

Until someone found the delete key.

Step into a gritty, neon-soaked tech-noir mystery that fuses the high-concept cyberpunk of Altered Carbon with the mind-bending, locked-room tension of The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. In a 2084 where the physical world is a husk, the ultra-rich have uploaded their souls to a digital paradise. But beneath the high-resolution sunsets and luxury code, something is rotting in the source code.

Silas Vane is a detective who sees the wires. A digital nihilist who knows that every "perfect" day is just a sequence of ones and zeros fighting entropic decay. He doesn't believe in the afterlife-he just bills for it.

But now, a billionaire has been "Permanently Deleted."

His data packet wasn't just moved. It was shredded.

The first murder in a world of immortals has just occurred.

And the killer is just getting started.

The stakes couldn't be more final. In exactly twenty-four hours, the Hard Refresh hits. The server will wipe its cache, the evidence will be purged, and the killer will vanish into the reset. Silas is working on a temporary guest pass-if he doesn't solve the case before dawn, his own consciousness will be scrubbed from existence.

Deleted at Dawn is a fast-paced cyberpunk thriller filled with reality-warping action, hard-boiled cynicism, and a ticking clock that screams toward a final, permanent end. If you love twisty speculative sleuthing and the dark side of a digital utopia, this standalone mystery is for you.
