They say you never forget the first time you die.

Toronto Police Service Detective Finsbury Gage knows this better than anyone. Now that he’s gone digital, he sees his death every time he closes his eyes—he and his wife, smeared across the highway after a malfunctioning bit-head ran them down in a stolen urban assault vehicle.

Driven to find his killer, Finsbury falls into a dangerous underworld of hackable minds and enhanced bodies, where death is cheap, and memory all that matters. But once he’s tasted the power of living at the speed of light, able to predict seconds into the future, how will he ever go back? And once he’s relaxed his grip on humanity, how far will he let it slip in the name of finding justice?
