The Kill Code - Paperback

by Ian McEwan (Author)

In a city where corporations own the law and obedience is survival, one man was engineered to disappear.

Known only as a ghost, he's a precision-built assassin-no past, no attachments, no questions. But when a routine hit ends with an encrypted message from an unknown source, everything fractures. The kill was just Phase One. The real target... might be him.

Pursued by an invisible Order that erases anyone who deviates from the algorithm, he begins to unravel the truth behind his creation. His only ally is a woman with secrets of her own-one who's been hunting the same truth from the other side of the war.

As identities crumble and loyalties bleed, the two must navigate a world of surveillance, silent purges, and synthetic obedience to uncover the architect behind it all. But in a system built to erase resistance before it forms, survival isn't rebellion.

It's treason.

The Kill Code is a relentless science fiction thriller that fuses the neon grit of cyberpunk with the emotional urgency of a rogue agent's awakening. For fans of Blade Runner, The Bourne Identity, and Black Mirror-this is the war that was never supposed to be seen.
