In the UK, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds.
Just gone. Vanished. In the blink of an eye.

DCS Kat Frank knows all about loss. A widowed single mother, Kat is a cop who trusts her instincts. Picked to lead a pilot programme that has her paired with AIDE (Artificially Intelligent Detective Entity) Lock, Kat's instincts come up against Lock's logic. But when the two missing person's cold cases they are reviewing suddenly become active, Lock is the only one who can help Kat when the case gets personal.

AI versus human experience.
Logic versus instinct.
With lives on the line can the pair work together before someone else becomes another statistic?

In the Blink of an Eye is a dazzling debut from an exciting new voice and asks us what we think it means to be human.

Ich wollte gar nicht aufhören. Aktuell, spannend, emotional. Eine Mischung von Technology Thriller und Krimi.
Well-done an die Autoren!

Sehr spannend!

Very good plot. Convincing characters weaving the drama in a seemingly brilliant way. The topic was very well researched and developed, as well as very smart, even plausible. Extremely well read and performed. Some few parts were somewhat kitschy. High degree of satisfaction!

Current topic, well developed and superbly performed (audiobook)

The premise isn’t even all that far-fetched: Warwick police agree to pilot an AI aide (named agent Lock) to work alongside a “real” ie human team lead by Kat Frank. She reluctantly agrees, making her contempt for AI clear at every turn. However, as their missing teen cold cases turn surprisingly warm and things start to get personal, the relationships within the team develop. There are some funny mishaps and misunderstandings between Lock’s relentless logic vs Frank’s gut feelings. Each character was well developed and believable, even the AI one. The plot was brilliant and well told.

Brilliant intelligent crime with Ai character
