Welcome to Neom, a nation where crime does not exist.

Year 2160. For more than a century, crime has disappeared. Thanks to a mandatory brain implant fitted at birth, any violent or transgressive impulse is immediately inhibited. In Neom, a vast futuristic megacity, order reigns. Peace has become the norm. But the unthinkable happens: a man is found stabbed to death. The first murder in over a hundred years. How could such an act occur? And above all… who committed it? Kya Ryss, a brilliant and methodical young woman, is assigned by the authorities to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more her certainties begin to crumble. And what she discovers may well shake the foundations of a world everyone believed to be immutable. In a society where everything is under control, some truths can kill.
