The Algorithm of Lies

In 1970s London, where punch cards and mainframes power the cutting edge of science, brilliant but unassuming programmer Thomas Wright uncovers a deadly secret hidden in a dataset. Tasked with analyzing field data from a mysterious outbreak, Thomas stumbles upon a shocking link: a widely distributed drug, produced by the powerful Virexon Pharmaceuticals, may be fueling the epidemic. But when Thomas presents his findings, Professor Edward Hadley—an ex-Royal Army Medical Corps officer and head of the department—dismisses him with a chilling warning to stay silent.

As Thomas delves deeper, he discovers the lengths to which Hadley will go to protect his reputation and preserve the lucrative funding Virexon provides. Joining forces with field researcher Dr. Olivia Clark, whose microbiology expertise and fearless determination inspire him, Thomas becomes a whistleblower. Together, they risk their careers, reputations, and safety to expose the truth.

Enter Inspector Graham Lennox, a shadowy figure from FI9, an elite team operating out of the mysterious Porton Down. With the power to seize assets and override government protocols, Lennox becomes a reluctant ally in their fight against Big Pharma’s manipulation and Hadley’s corruption.

Amid escalating threats, erased evidence, and mounting paranoia, Thomas must find the courage to act. As the truth unravels, will justice prevail, or will the weight of ambition and greed bury it once again?

A gripping thriller of conspiracy, courage, and redemption, The Algorithm of Lies explores the dark intersection of science, power, and integrity in an era of rapid technological change.
