Роман-столкновение двух типов криминального профайлинга — старой психологической школы и нового цифрового подхода, основанного на обработке больших данных и обучаемых нейросетях.

…Тяжелая цепь держала тело и вела вниз к глубоко врытому в песок якорю… Она выходила изо рта мертвеца и шла вверх к прямоугольному белому бую, застывшему у поверхности воды. Неровные красные буквы на нем складывались в одно слово: «FREE*»… Цепь не удерживала руки жертвы. Она не обвивалась вокруг тела. Несчастный проглотил ее…

Нет, не для этого Манос Ману оказался на Миконосе — этом райском греческом острове, известном своими кутежами… Он приехал на свадьбу к другу. Но местные полицейские сразу привлекли его к расследованию невообразимо странного и жестокого убийства. Как-никак теперь он сотрудник Интерпола, эксперт международной полиции по цифровым технологиям. Он сразу понял: этот убийца — серийный, и в ближайшее время убьет снова. Впрочем, здесь же, на Миконосе, проходит конференция криминологов-профайлеров. Вот пусть и займутся своим делом — составят профиль маньяка. А Манос тем временем натаскает на вычисление его личности собственную нейросеть. Он уверен — машинный анализ цифровых следов способен быстрее вывести на убийцу. Однако эти следы куда запутаннее, а мотивы маньяка куда сложнее, чем ему кажется…

A Dubai balloon festival is attacked by the worst social engineering exploit the world has seen.
A prime moment to be working for Interpol.

Manos Manu, an Interpol data scientist, arrives in the United Arab Emirates to solve a series of murders that have shaken the Middle East.

Interpol’s Singapore back office has proven world-class, with a machine learning team of the best engineers from around the globe - including Manos’ girlfriend Mei. Tested under pressure in the field, his custom system is nothing short of brilliant.

But this time, his arch-nemesis is not simply a killer. Not even a web of determined developers, scattered across the world.

His enemy is his very own nature.

A series of murders in the party island of Mykonos rocks the Web. A data scientist has less than a week to become a cop.

Manos Manu arrives on the Greek island of Mykonos to attend a friend’s luxurious wedding, but soon finds himself on the hunt for a serial killer. The murderer abducts his victims, runs their body through with chains, and sinks them offshore, attached to a buoy scrawled with the word "free".

Local police find plenty of clues: boat rentals and hotel reservations, DNA samples and last sightings. But when the murders start making the rounds on social media, they’re in over their heads.

Enter Manu, a data scientist who gave up lucrative Silicon Valley for Interpol only so he could freely "run multiple models on human actors". His problem now? Every move he makes is met with suspicion: His wealthy friends question his career in law enforcement, and the Greek police are baffled by his methods. His machine learning system tracks online media use to find killers, but it’s untested. He needs datasets, but they’re classified. And Interpol headquarters in Singapore doesn’t like him squandering resources or - much worse - exposing the entire program to the scrutiny of global media.

But the victims multiply. The crisis deepens. And Manu’s machine learning models plunge them into data correlations impossible to fathom.
