Alex was born different to any other child, he never sleeps, and was expected to not live beyond his fifth birthday. But against all odds, he not only survived, but he has also become a genius, able to study twenty-four hours a day. Eventually, Alex figures out a way to rewrite the entire internet with his new coding he has spent his life developing, and unknowing to him, the government has been using it to kill millions of people. They have been using his technology to round up and control the world's ever-growing population, but it is not enough, and when the ZEN (Zero Environmental Negativity) project is realised. Alex North is the only man who can take back control of a technology he has unleashed into the world, but with time running out, the Zen project is set to take over the world. Soon, all known human life on the planet could be controlled by a simple touch of a button! Can Alex take back his technology before the world enters a new phase of hidden control, or will it be too little, too late?

Book Description
"This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own... As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder." – The New York Times The haunting new thriller from Alex North, author of the New York Times bestseller The Whisper Man You knew a teenager like Charlie Crabtree. A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and suffering from dementia, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home. It's not long before things start to go wrong. Paul learns that Detective Amanda Beck is investigating another copycat that has struck in the nearby town of Featherbank. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago. It wasn't just the murder. It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...
