Loved this book, and read it during the perfect time.

A global pandemic has caused a large percentage of people to experience "Lock In" or Haden's Syndrome; causing them to be fully conscious but unable to move, trapped in their own bodies. With so many locked in, funding was pumped into medical science to created many solutions for them, including the ability to transfer their consciousness into robot bodies, or in a sort of digital world. In rarer cases, some people are able to carry others consciousness inside their own head, giving the locked in a chance to feel human again, if only for a short time. One of these Haden's is an FBI agent in a division that specializes in Haden's related crimes. On his first day on the job, he is thrown into the deep end with an unprecedented murder case, the likes of which no one has ever seen before.

Such a unique world was built very quickly and I was engage in this new society immediately. As one could image, a main character who literally can't show emotion (because he uses one of these "robot" bodies) was not the most dynamic protagonist. However, following the mystery of these murders and crimes had me hooked and loved to watch it unfold threw very grounded futuristic technology that reminded me of something from Black Mirror. I really enjoyed this book and want to read more sci-fi inspired detective/crime novels.
