The perpetrators are cunning and selective, targeting only one type of car, which has made it difficult for law enforcement to track them down. Hector's mission is clear: save the child and apprehend the suspects. But as he delves deeper into the investigation, he begins to question whether the child was merely a victim of circumstance or if the carjackers had targeted the child all along. The tension builds as Hector follows each lead, never sure who he can trust. As Hector races against time to solve the case, he discovers that the parents of the abducted child may have something to hide. Could they be connected to the carjacking ring? Or is there something else going on that he hasn't yet uncovered? The conflict intensifies as Hector realizes that the carjacking ring is just the tip of the iceberg. There are larger forces at play, and he must navigate his way through a complex web of deceit and corruption to get to the truth. With each new twist and turn, Hector's life is put in danger, but he remains determined to see justice served.

Book excerpt: Paul Durham keeps making Copies of himself: software simulations of his own brain and body which can be run in virtual reality, albeit seventeen times more slowly than real time. He wants them to be his guinea pigs for a set of experiments about the nature of artificial intelligence, time, and causality, but they keep changing their mind and baling out on him, shutting themselves down. Maria Deluca is an Autoverse addict; she’s unemployed and running out of money, but she can’t stop wasting her time playing around with the cellular automaton known as the Autoverse, a virtual world that follows a simple set of mathematical rules as its “laws of physics”. Paul makes Maria a very strange offer: he asks her to design a seed for an entire virtual biosphere able to exist inside the Autoverse, modelled right down to the molecular level. The job will pay well, and will allow her to indulge her obsession. There has to be a catch, though, because such a seed would be useless without a simulation of the Autoverse large enough to allow the resulting biosphere to grow and flourish — a feat far beyond the capacity of all the computers in the world.
