Lewis and Lindsay Thorpe were the perfect couple: young, attractive, and ideally matched. But the veil of perfection can mask many blemishes. When the Thorpes are found dead in their tasteful Flagstaff living room (having committed double suicide), alarms go off in the towering Manhattan offices of Eden Incorporated, a high-tech matchmaking company. Christopher Lash, a gifted former FBI forensic psychologist, is hired to investigate. His psychological autopsy reveals nothing suspicious, but when a second Eden couple is found dead, Lash gains unprecedented access to Eden's most guarded secrets to determine what is going wrong. The hidden world he discovers is a stunning labyrinth of artificial intelligence and technology, but his involvement becomes more personal and dangerous than he could have imagined.
