In a digital future, bodies aren’t the only mess that needs to be cleaned up when someone dies. Just as dead flesh rots, people’s digital bodies also go putrid when they die.

Criminals steal identities to take out loans or commit fraud. Whatever assets the dead may have left behind are snatched before their heirs can jump through all the legal imposed by the bloated bureaucracy of the state.

And so, when someone knows they are going to die soon, they call for a Code Reaper–someone who will wipe their identity from the digital world and transfer all their assets to their heirs. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s the best people can get.

But when a Code Reaper named Kaisha gets a mysterious job reaping one of the most powerful executives in Mega-City, she stumbles on a conspiracy that fundamentally alters the way people live and die.

E L Strife’s Code Reaper is a mystery packed with interesting visions of our future with technology: Augmentation addiction, swarms of miniature drones spying on every move you make, and Code Reapers–It’ll give you a whole new world to think about.
