The Girl with the Lunatic Fringe - Paperback

by G. L. Keady (Author)

In the high-stakes world of AI technology, Professor Lucy Yip's revolutionary nanobot concept catches the eye of BioBot Industries, promising her a fortune if she can turn theory into reality. Meanwhile, in LA, Ren Tanaka, haunted by a scandalous past linked to Yip, stumbles upon a blackmail opportunity involving a famous actress and his former lover, Yip herself.

Desperate for funding, Yip collaborates with her former student, Niha Yang, to monetize a viral app, anchored by a stolen song, 'Femme Fatale, ' which paints Yip as a dangerously seductive figure. They plan to capitalise on the song's potential for massive crypto downloads, unaware that it has put them in the crosshairs of a blackmail scheme.

The plot thickens when Ren's estranged sister Dwip, the original creator of 'Femme Fatale, ' dies under mysterious circumstances. Her partner Kendy, suspecting murder, implores her boss Axis to investigate. As Axis delves into the world of AI, music, and hidden desires, he unravels a web of intrigue where technology and human treachery intertwine, leading to deadly consequences.
