Summary

Who is Vidor Kiraly, and what is he hiding? 
Following a violent outburst at an awards ceremony, Vidor, a prize-winning neuroscientist and Cambridge don, is sent to an isolated psychiatric clinic in the Swiss Alps. 
Vidor claims to have no memory of the incident as the director of the clinic, Dr Anton Gessen, tries to unearth the reason behind his erratic behaviour. After one of Gessen’s other patients goes missing, Gessen has reason to doubt Vidor’s innocence. 
To complicate matters, Gessen is certain he has met Vidor before. 
Can he piece everything together before it’s too late?

    Some secrets keep a couple together. 
     
     
     
    If you ask Jill Tingley, she'll tell you she and her husband Jack are college sweethearts living the dream in Southern California. Wealthy, popular and genetically blessed, theirs is an enviable life, though they've grown distant in recent years. Newly empty nesting with their daughter Maggie away at college, Jill suggests a road trip to reconnect. 
     
     
     
    Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife. He's only stayed in this marriage because of a shared secret, a tragedy in the past he wanted to keep buried. And for his daughter's sake. But Jack is finished with the charade of his marriage. He's filing for divorce as soon as they return, no matter what. 
     
     
     
    But he doesn't realize what else Jill is hiding. 
     
     
     
    So begins a cat-and-mouse road trip as a cunning wife—think Ripley in yoga pants—and a reluctant husband match wits and drive each other to the edge. But everything will be fine. Jill still loves Jack and believes he's the only one for her. She’ll do anything to keep him. Anything. She always has.

    A human soul is nothing more than a stat-sheet. Until it is violently erased. 
    In the smog-choked fringes of a brutal industrial theocracy, Caleb Russo survives by following one rule: never look deeper than the procedure requires. Cursed with an invasive empathic Ledger-Sight, the disgraced surgeon repairs the broken stat-sheets of the desperately poor while keeping his own mental barricades firmly intact. 
    Then a woman named Echo collapses on his clinic floor, bleeding out and entirely devoid of memories. When Caleb breaches his own rules and peers into her invisible architecture, he doesn't find a damaged Ledger. He finds a terrifying void. 
    Echo's identity hasn't just been wiped—it has been systematically detonated to hide a lethal, state-sanctioned weapon. Now, with the ruthless Licensing Board Director initiating a district-wide purge to execute unregistered anomalies, Caleb is forced to make an impossible choice: hand Echo over to the Arbiter for permanent structural erasure, or commit the ultimate heresy by forging a new soul to hide her from the gods of the system. 
    In Book 2 of the critically acclaimed The Consent of Monsters series, author Joseph Pepe delivers a pulse-pounding plunge into a dystopian LitRPG world where empathy is a fatal flaw, and the truth is paid for in blood. 
    Return to the dark. The surgery has already begun.
