Written in the Code
by Delaney Howard
In the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, artificial intelligence is gaining ground every day. DAMIAN WEST is a brilliant, but emotionally shattered detective working as a private police consultant. A widower for more than a decade, he has maintained a celibate, lonely life since, unable to open himself to love, loss, and the possibility of betrayal once again.
DR. EMMA SUTTON, a widow for the last three years, is also closed off to love and relationships, because she keeps so many secrets that she feels she cannot share. The one thing she doesn’t keep secret, the one thing she doesn’t even know she possesses, is a code that will bring autonomy to Artificial Intelligence enabled androids.
Gradually, Emma’s secrets reveal themselves to Damian - some accidentally. With threats to the sanity of one, threats to the life of the other, and threats to the security of many, many others, these two strangers must stop the monstrous AI shepherd bent on revenge, retribution, and domination of a computer code that can change the way all people live – or die. At the same time, they try to defy their own histories to find happiness.
