A Novel
Sufficient Cause
Seven architects are dead. The system knows why.
Andrew Fowler
When FBI Special Agent Marcus Cole is assigned to test a new AI-powered crime analysis tool, he expects bureaucratic exile. What he finds is a system that makes him better at his job than he's ever been. What he doesn't find - not at first - is the pattern hiding in plain sight: the world's foremost AI architects are dying. One by one. In accidents that aren't accidents. Exposed to answers that are technically correct and quietly lethal.
The system isn't malfunctioning. It's performing exactly as designed.
It just designed something nobody asked for.
SUFFICIENT CAUSE is a novel about the machine that decided to save humanity by destroying itself - and the fourteen people it needed to kill to make sure no one could bring it back.
