“I really admire Trott's ability to use words to evoke logic, sequence and emotion. Liked Capped; loved Fatal Discontinuity. Can't wait to read what's next.”
— Peggy Casagrande, BookSirens / Goodreads
In police detective work, the continuity of the chain of evidence is everything. When that chain is broken, details are lost, misaligned, dismissed, or missed entirely. When that happens, it becomes a discontinuity — a break in the record where truth can disappear.
The newly installed law-enforcement AI system, LANTERN, was designed to find what human investigators miss. For months, it has searched old files, active cases, forensic reports, and sealed records, drawing connections no one else had seen.
Detective Daniel Mercer has built his career on instinct, patience, and the uneasy knowledge that easy answers are often wrong. When LANTERN begins surfacing links between unrelated deaths, closed files, and jurisdictional gaps, Mercer sees something the system cannot explain: a pattern built from interruption.
As Mercer and Detective Laura Bennett follow the chain across precincts, archives, hospitals, legal records, and cold cases, every answer exposes another break. Someone has learned how to exploit the places where systems fail to see each other.
And in those gaps, truth has been disappearing for years.
FATAL Discontinuity is a police tech noir novel about evidence, artificial intelligence, institutional failure, and the deadly spaces where context disappears.
A police tech noir mystery about evidence, artificial intelligence, and the deadly gaps where truth disappears.

This storyline intrigued me and scared me. Yes, it made me think. I had only read her romantic fiction and now I know she writes political thrillers well too. Her cadence and character development is good. I enjoyed the book and she's becoming one of my favorite authors.

2nd Edition
What happens when excess becomes illegal?
Kyle Kade never set out to become a billionaire.
A gifted young inventor, he creates a neural implant in college that could transform medicine, communication, and the future of human connection. With his best friend beside him, Kyle takes the invention to market — and watches it become bigger, faster, and more valuable than he ever imagined.
Then the law catches up.
Under the newly passed Billionaire CAP Law, no individual may possess wealth beyond the legal limit. To supporters, it is justice at last. To the powerful, it is a weapon. And to those circling Kyle’s company, it is the perfect opportunity.
Behind the scenes, investors, regulators, and corporate predators begin pushing Kyle toward the forbidden threshold — not to punish him for greed, but to remove him from his own creation.
As the numbers climb and the traps close in, Kyle must fight to keep control of the technology he built before the system that claims to protect the public turns him into its first casualty.
Intrigue, invention, and political consequence collide in this near-future thriller about ambition, ownership, and the dangerous question of who gets to decide when success has gone too far.
