The Ghost in the Girdle

About this book

In the decaying orbital ring known as the Hollow Girdle, society is brutally stratified: the elite flaunt flawless, lab-grown biological bodies while the poor are trapped in malfunctioning synthetic shells. When a high-ranking official's consciousness is discovered murdered inside a degraded mechanical decoy, an investigator from the lower tiers must navigate the treacherous Atmospheric Tiers to find the killer. Her investigation uncovers a horrifying conspiracy involving consciousness trafficking, stolen identities, and a rogue entity known only as the Ghost. As the line between humanity and machinery blurs, she must risk her own physical form to expose a systemic corruption that threatens the fundamental rights of every citizen in the Girdle.
