The Lattice Scheme

What would you discover if you could search another person's mind?
What if they confessed to a crime?

When Azure Prescott gains the ability to enter the subconscious mind of others, it seems like the perfect tool for uncovering hidden crimes and buried secrets. Instead, it opens a world where memories can be manipulated, identities concealed, and certainty itself begins to unravel.

Assigned to recover a missing Italian intelligence operative who vanished after assuming a new identity, Azure expects to uncover answers buried within his mind. What she finds instead challenges everything believed to be true and raises unsettling questions about who can be trusted.

At the same time, an unauthorized investigation alongside an enigmatic detective exposes a conspiracy built upon altered memory and carefully constructed deception, concealing a history whose consequences are beginning to surface once again. As the two investigations converge, Azure finds herself pursuing more than hidden criminals. She is chasing a conspiracy that threatens to reshape everything she thought she understood.

Some truths do not simply change an investigation.

They change the person who uncovers them.

The Lattice Scheme is a speculative mystery thriller grounded in classical investigation, where every answer comes at a cost, and the search for truth is never without consequence.
