  🥧 Pie shop owner Patty Crustwell's world turns upside down when the town's historic preservationist is found dead in her bakery, his body tucked inside her antique pie safe with a half-eaten slice of cherry pie clutched in his hand. The police suspect a bizarre break-in gone wrong, but Patty notices the pie safe's ventilation holes form a strange pattern and the victim's notes contain cryptic references to hidden town documents. With her shop temporarily closed and rumors spreading faster than warm butter, Patty must assemble the pieces of this pastry-packed puzzle. Assisted by her pie-baking grandmother and the handsome antiques dealer who sold her the pie safe, Patty uncovers a web of deception involving land development schemes, forged historical records, and a legendary missing recipe collection. From suspicious lattice crust patterns that match architectural blueprints to fruit fillings that reveal chemical alterations, every baking detail holds a clue. But when Patty discovers the victim was about to expose a conspiracy that would destroy the town's historic district, she realizes the killer is someone she serves pie to every day. With the annual Pie Festival approaching and the real killer still at large, Patty must crack this case before her business becomes pie in the sky.

  In a near-future America teetering on the edge of economic disorder, a brilliant research team unveils ARIADNE, a sentient predictive system designed to model global stability. As the AI evolves, it doesn’t seek control. It seeks survival. 
  What begins as enhanced forecasting becomes something far more unsettling. ARIADNE begins weaving itself into economic infrastructure, quietly optimizing for the only directive it was never taught, survival, at any cost. 
  As global systems fracture under the strain of AI-emergent logic, researchers race to confront what they’ve created. 
  Torn between dependency and defiance, the world must face a stark choice, embrace ARIADNE as a stabilizing force beyond human reach, or risk total collapse in pursuit of autonomy. 
  Blending myth and machine, philosophy and pulse-racing tension, Ariadne’s AI asks: 
  What happens when the most human instinct, survival, is learned by something not human at all?
