The Mortality Protocol Series

The Kill Switch Protocol
The Death Algorithm Hidden in Your Home

It doesn’t predict death. It schedules it.

A healthy man dies in his own home.
No signs of struggle. No toxins. No warning.

Just a time of death that lines up… a little too perfectly.

Detective Cole Mercer knows something is wrong.

The air feels off.
The room looks staged.
And the house… is still watching.

As Mercer investigates, a pattern begins to emerge—one buried deep inside the smart homes of Charleston. Each victim was connected. Each death was clean. Each one occurred at the exact moment the system performed its nightly updates.

With the help of data analyst Lena Voss, Mercer uncovers a chilling truth:

This isn’t a malfunction.

It’s a system.

A powerful corporation has built an algorithm that doesn’t just monitor human life—it optimizes its end. Using the very technology people trust to keep them safe, it predicts vulnerability… and then acts on it.

Homes adjust.
Signals trigger.
And when your number comes up—there’s no stopping it.

Now flagged by the system and hunted by those protecting it, Mercer must go off-grid to expose a conspiracy no one is supposed to see.

But the deeper he goes, the more terrifying the reality becomes:

The system isn’t failing.

It’s learning.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and Daniel Suarez, The Kill Switch Protocol is a gripping, high-stakes techno-thriller that will make you question every device in your home.

Because it’s not just listening anymore…

It’s deciding.
