About
From USA Today bestselling author Rhett C. Bruno and T. E. Bakutis, “Mind Burn” is “Ready Player One” meets “Minority Report,” in which Detective Soto must hunt down a dangerous criminal capable of hijacking and controlling people through their cybernetic implants.
When your new employer tasks you with investigating the first successful mass shooting in twelve years, it's understandable to be nervous. Fortunately, detective-in-training Cowan Soto has a Personal Brain Assistant, a cybernetic implant, that allows him to firewall pesky emotions like worry and guilt and redact memories of bullet-riddled corpses. Unfortunately, Cowan soon learns it was his suspect's PBA which allowed a ruthless hacker to puppet her into a shooting rampage.
Aided by a veteran investigator, a brilliant CFO, a nihilistic cybercriminal, and the best waifu madam in Kearny Mesa, Cowan must wade through a gauntlet of homicidal professional gamers, the Russian mafia, and the board of OneWorld to bring this ruthless puppet master to justice. All the while, the brand-new detective is concealing the fact that he's the exact type of criminal OneWorld has hired him to arrest: a loose circuit-a human unbound by behavioral modification protocols.
