About the Novel
Hamburg, 1995: Kevin Engelhardt is run down on a rain-soaked road. The killer disappears with a briefcase full of evidence, and the case is quietly closed as an accident. Almost thirty years later, Martin Sanders – known in the shadows as Darwin – receives a new assignment. His target is a woman living in Hamburg. But a fatal hotel mix-up places the money and crucial information in the hands of IT specialist Leonard Whitehead. As Leonard desperately tries to warn Antonia Stegemann, the artificial intelligence GOLIATH begins reconstructing the decades-old crime. Yet to the machine, guilt is not a moral question. It is a system risk that must be contained.
Between Hamburg and London, server rooms, luxury hotels and long-buried secrets, the net begins to tighten. Human decisions, digital surveillance and calculated violence merge into a deadly game in which nobody knows who is still in control. The human being, the killer – or the machine that has learnt to judge them both?
