The Harpocrates Project

Why do good people turn evil? When Daniel Douglas — a model citizen and devoted father — commits an egregious act of violence, psychology professor Gladys Osorio launches a study to understand why. She soon discovers Douglas is far from alone: bizarre, inexplicable crimes by once-decent people are escalating.

Racing against time, her team traces the pattern to a shadowy website named for Harpocrates, the ancient Greek god of secrets — if only she can breach its firewall. A genre hybrid of mystery, science fiction, and climate fiction that builds to an astonishing finale.
