They saw everything. They understood nothing.
In 2100, Neo-Toronto floats above the drowned remains of its former shoreline, governed by the Polite Network—an automated justice system that has made violent crime statistically extinct. Or so the country believes.
Mediator Jasmine Pitcher reviews Luminary deaths before the system closes their files. When the Polite Network declares that tech founder Michael Dixon died of a broken heart, Jasmine notices the bruises beneath his collar. The machine saw the marks. It simply lacked the category to call them murder.
Three more Luminaries die. Each death is dismissed as natural. Each scene carries physical evidence the system mislabels as insignificant. Jasmine discovers the victims share one connection: they signed the 2085 decision that eliminated Canada's human-led criminology program. Someone is systematically killing the architects of automated justice.
The trail leads Jasmine to the tunnels beneath Old Toronto, where she finds Gavin Host—a brilliant former student whose wife died when the Network refused to recognize her assault. Now Gavin has built an analog broadcasting system to show the country exactly how the system failed. Four murders. Four recordings. And one final death planned for the last surviving committee member: Jasmine's own boss.
With only hours before the broadcast reaches every screen in Canada, Jasmine must prove that the evidence system discarded is the truth that will convict a killer. But Gavin understands the blind spots of automated justice better than anyone. He built his plan around them.
And Jasmine's father—the man whose warnings about the Network were erased along with his career—taught her one lesson she never forgot:
Never stop looking. And never stop looking again.
The Blind Spot is a gripping near-future thriller that asks: when we trust a system to see everything, what do we make it blind to?
