When billionaire Elliot Vance is found murdered in a locked office in London, Detective Adrian Cross expects another corporate crime case.
He's wrong.
A list of dead investigators leads Cross into a hidden system known only as The Custodian Network-a secret organization that has manipulated justice, buried scandals, and controlled the truth for decades.
But someone inside the system has changed the rules.
One by one, the investigators who discovered the Network are being hunted.
As the conspiracy reaches the highest levels of government, Cross uncovers a terrifying plan: a single man intends to seize control of the world's information networks and rebuild the system under his command.
If Cross fails, the future of justice will belong to whoever controls the truth.
And the truth is already slipping away.
