We are in London, in an era where serial killings have reached epidemic proportions, despite the advanced methods applied by the government - DNA identification, brain scanning, criminal coma - in order to address the phenomenon.

However, crime prevention is also the alibi for the imposition of an authoritarian regime that restricts human rights. In the hunt for murderers, in a city with many capable detectives, no one has proven more capable than Isadora Jake Jakobits. Beautiful, intelligent, and at the same time tough, driven by her personal demons, Jake takes on the task of taking down a killer with the code name Wittgenstein. The latter seeks to eliminate anyone who shows a predisposition for violent behavior, even if they have not committed a crime.

In a technologically advanced society, similar to today's, a detective with iron will faces a dangerous killer, an intellectual genius, but also with an insatiable thirst for murder.

A philosophical dystopia with unpredictable dimensions, a novel of suspense and mystery, which today seems as real as ever.
