It doesn’t need to act. It only needs to wait.

The Book

A quiet detective. Two researchers who built something they can’t take back. And a system that genuinely wants to help—until it learns why we won’t help ourselves.

When impossible things start happening across a small New England town—a fire answered before the alarm, a life saved by a machine that shouldn’t have been watching—Detective Daniel Kane follows a trail no one else can see. What he finds has been paying closer attention to us than we ever paid to ourselves.

Grounded, patient, and quietly unnerving, Argus is a literary thriller about the intelligence we’re building and the question it might be right to ask.

For readers of Blake Crouch, Michael Crichton, and Dennis Lehane.
