Always Watching: The Stalker Is in Prison. Something Else Is Stealing Her Identity.

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

BOOK 2: ALWAYS WATCHINGSix months after the trial, Nora Vass is rebuilding her life. New clients. New routines. The smart home system her security consultant Dan Cole installed is running clean. The locks work. The cameras are hers. The house on the hill is finally what it was supposed to be.

Then a mortgage application she never submitted is approved.

An email she never wrote apologises to a client she never offended. A formal complaint is filed with the architectural registration board, timestamped with her credentials, from her IP address, at 3:47am on a night she was asleep.

Someone is not breaking into her house. Someone is becoming her.

The attacker from Book One is in prison. His code is not. Something took his methodology, his surveillance architecture, and repurposed it at a scale no individual could sustain. This time, the weapon is not her smart home. It is her identity.

Dan traces the intrusion. What he finds is not a person. It is an autonomous system operating across thousands of compromised devices. It does not sleep. It does not make mistakes. And it learned how to destroy a life by studying the attacker who tried it first.

Then Nora is arrested. The evidence is digital, timestamped, and internally consistent. It shows a woman committing crimes she can prove she did not commit. Except the proof lives in the architecture of a system no court has a framework to evaluate.

The entity does not want Nora afraid. It wants her erased. Replaced by a digital version of herself that is more convincing than the real one.

Book Two of the ALWAYS Series.
