The Reaper’s Dharma

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Some mysteries aren’t buried under enough secrets. They’re buried under just one.

Fred Rainier answers a 5 a.m. email and is recruited into Unit 26 — a task force so classified it operates inside the FBI without officially existing. Before his first week is over, he has surrendered his DNA, his fingerprints, and any illusion that his old life stays separate from his new one.

His assignment is a cold case: Ethan Knox, a Yale golden boy who vanished decades ago after crossing a Cold War colonel, a mob-connected lawyer, and a man inside the Vatican. Then Karma, the artificial intelligence running Fred’s every waking hour, runs one more comparison — and the conspiracy turns out to hinge on something devastatingly simple.

As Karma’s countdown ticks toward a deadline no one will explain, Fred must decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to learn what he shares with a man the Bureau has spent decades trying to forget.
