Some harms have no author. That is what makes them unstoppable.

A neurologist runs a deep-brain-stimulation trial from a quiet hospital on the edge of the Cumbrian fells. One by one, her patients rise and walk towards doors they should never open. There is nothing to find. No fault, no intruder, no crime on paper at all.

A harm with no fingerprints. The machine that leaves no author. Mercy and message hidden beneath the noise. Trust, belief and the consequences of invisible agency.

An ordinary hospital, sterile calm and rising dread. The only warning is a stimulation trace followed by a neural response that slips out of its previous pattern.

A neurologist investigating unexplained behaviour in patients receiving deep-brain stimulation discovers a pattern designed to resemble chance. What begins on one ward threatens to spread across a country, and stopping it requires proving that something with no fingerprints exists at all.
