Project Hearthline
On Veyr Station, even the dead had permissions.
Power lives in protocols, access tiers, and the quiet certainty that the system always knows best. When Arden Kest dies inside a sealed room, the official explanation arrives almost as quickly as the body is found.
Investigator Calder Vale is sent to confirm the obvious.
Instead, he finds a station built on buried records, managed truths, and a project called Hearthline that reaches deeper into human identity than anyone outside its walls was ever meant to see.
As Vale follows the evidence through locked archives, private gardens, restricted systems, and the shadows of a carefully ordered world, he discovers that this is not only a murder investigation. It is a fight over memory, personhood, and who gets to decide what a life was worth.
Project Hearthline is a smart, atmospheric mystery set against a science-fiction backdrop of corporate secrecy, procedural precision, and elegant dread.
Perfect for readers who enjoy locked-room mysteries, literary science fiction, corporate conspiracy, and character-driven detective stories.
