In the UK, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds.
Just gone. Vanished. In the blink of an eye.
DCS Kat Frank knows all about loss. A widowed single mother, Kat is a cop who trusts her instincts. Picked to lead a pilot programme that has her paired with AIDE (Artificially Intelligent Detective Entity) Lock, Kat's instincts come up against Lock's logic. But when the two missing person's cold cases they are reviewing suddenly become active, Lock is the only one who can help Kat when the case gets personal.
AI versus human experience.
Logic versus instinct.
With lives on the line can the pair work together before someone else becomes another statistic?
‘Terrifyingly timely and provocative' Val McDermid
‘The moral dilemmas created by artificial intelligence are brilliantly explored in this altogether very human novel’ Sunday Times
‘In the Blink of an Eye is fresh, innovative and very, very clever. Flawlessly paced, plotted and researched, it’s laugh out loud, heart-achingly sad and doesn’t have a dull moment. I raced through it. Simply sensational’ M.W. Craven
Jo Callaghan works full time as a senior strategist, carrying out research into the future impact of AI and genomics on the workforce.
We'll be meeting on Thursday 28th of March via MS Teams where we will be discussing the novel. You can find the link via the Events Calendar on the Staff Room.
