Broken Things

Alec Wightman has always known how to fix things. Until the day his own life breaks.

A single phone call changes everything. In its aftermath, evidence disappears, witnesses change their stories, and a military pilot with a powerful father walks away untouched.

Alec retreats to an isolated coastal property. There, a promise to his son becomes an obsession. A homemade toy leads to machines that can learn, an artificial intelligence that can help him build, and the means to reach a man the law has failed to touch.

For ten years, revenge gives him a reason to get up in the morning. Now he is ready to take something from the man who took everything from him.

But Alec's plan draws another life into the damage. As the consequences become impossible to ignore, an unexpected connection forces him to question the future he has spent a decade preparing for-and whether he can still choose another.

Broken Things is a dark, emotionally charged thriller about grief, artificial intelligence, and the cost of revenge-and what happens when the future you thought you had lost begins to matter again.
