Synopsis

"A masterpiece ... the eminent fiction writer of our times" – Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting

Multi-award-winning author Ewan Morrison’s 9th book is a gripping, high-stakes, high concept thriller, which fuses futurism with a powerful emotional core.

Emma is a young genius Silicon Valley scientist who dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment. Her voice then haunts her father, helping him plan the killing of the Big Tech CEO who destroyed her.

For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father.
