Enter the mind; extract the truth; survive the consequences. In a near-future America, Agent Azure Prescott interrogates suspects in the only place they cannot lie: their own subconscious. When a high-level operative disappears, Azure is sent into his mind to recover the truth. It should be routine. It is not. Working alongside an enigmatic detective, Azure uncovers a conspiracy built on illegal neurotechnology and fabricated identities. Each descent takes her further from certainty, where reality fractures and trust becomes impossible. The Lattice Scheme is a dream interrogation thriller for readers of psychological investigations and layered suspense.
