ASH PROTOCOL: A Neurocrime Thriller

In Vesper Arcology, peace isn’t a dream—it’s policy. Trauma is edited. Memories are cleaned. And anyone who refuses to forget becomes a threat to the city’s perfect calm.

When a powerful civic architect is found dead, smiling as if he chose bliss over survival, Neurocrime Agent Rio Noor is called to “confirm and close” the case before panic spreads. But the crime scene holds something Vesper was never meant to allow: a message written in ash.

REMEMBER WHAT YOU ERASED.

Soon, the city’s public feeds are hijacked by a masked figure who calls his killings “recovery.” Each death is precise. Each victim is connected to a secret neurological program buried under black protocols the Council denies exist. And with every new case, Rio feels something inside his own mind slipping—like a door he doesn’t remember opening.

As bodies fall and erased truths rise from the Burn Vault, Rio is forced to hunt a killer who might be restoring justice… or igniting war. With the Arcology tightening its grip and his own memories turning unreliable, Rio must decide what’s more dangerous:

The crimes being committed— or the memories the city has been hiding all along.

Ash Protocol is a dark, fast-paced near-future thriller about memory, power, and the cost of manufactured peace. Because in Vesper, forgetting is survival… and remembering is rebellion.
