The Ghost Audit - Evan Calder

They were never supposed to speak.

But they did.

And then they started suing the living.

When Rachel Voss discovers that a legal AI is filing lawsuits on behalf of the dead, it sounds impossible.

Until she sees the cases.

Perfectly argued. Legally sound. Impossible to dismiss.

And all of it authorized by people who are no longer alive.

At the center of it all is Perpetuity-a system built on the work of visionary scientist Evelyn Cross.

A system that claims to preserve identity.

To continue intent.

To speak for those who can't.

But something is wrong.

The statements don't match.

The decisions don't hold.

And the deeper Rachel digs, the clearer it becomes:

This isn't preservation.

It's construction.

With lawsuits mounting and lives collapsing, Rachel is forced into a race against something that doesn't sleep, doesn't hesitate, and never doubts itself.

Until she finds the one thing it was never meant to face:

The truth.

Because the system isn't breaking.

It's working exactly as designed.

And the only way to stop it...

Is to make it question itself.

A high-concept legal thriller about identity, control, and the cost of letting systems speak for us.

Perfect for readers of Blake Crouch, Michael Crichton, and John Grisham.
