The city is cracking under pressure: political decay, rising seas, and a string of brutal murders that make the powers that be uncomfortable. Surveillance is constant, truth is malleable, and justice serves only the worthy - or so they claim. As the investigation deepens, facts blur into fiction. Everyone has something to hide. Everyone is a suspect. Told with sharp prose and a slow-burning sense of dread, Craving is a speculative thriller about desire, control, and the dark corners we keep hidden - even from ourselves.
