The City That Framed Me: The Vespera Cycle - Book One

By S. M. Rayvale

A fast-paced, twisty techno-thriller. The Vespera Cycle starts here.

They came for Mira Quinn at dawn - cameras rolling, the whole city watching.

The evidence is perfect. Her fingerprints. Her face. Her alibi, rewritten by machines. Overnight, the city's AI justice system has turned an innocent woman into its most famous killer.

But Mira knows something the machines don't expect: how to read the city itself - its mirrors, its sensors, its blind spots.

From inside a prison built to break her, she begins teaching the system that condemned her. Every camera becomes a witness. Every reflection becomes evidence. And every clock in Vespera is about to tell on the person who taught it to lie.

To clear her name, Mira must outsmart a system that never sleeps... and a hidden enemy called the Architect, who is only getting started.

The City That Framed Me is a fast-paced novel of the near future - perfect for fans of smart heroines, found-family crews, twisty conspiracies, and thrillers where the truth fights back.

Book Two of the Vespera Cycle, The Hunted Ledger, is coming soon.
