THE ALGORITHM WILL SEE YOU NOW

Book cover of the medical thriller book The Algorithm Will See You Now by JL Lycette

Medical treatment determined by artificial intelligence could do more than make Hope Kestrel’s career. It could revolutionize healthcare.

But the AI has a hidden fatal flaw, and the people covering it up will stop at nothing to dominate the world’s healthcare –and its profits. Soon, Hope is made the scapegoat for a patient’s death, and only Jacie Stone, a gifted intern with a knack for computer science, is willing to help search for the truth.

Her patient’s death is only the tip of the conspiracy’s iceberg. The Director, Marah Maddox, is plotting a use for the AI far outside the ethical bounds of her physician’s oath. A staggering plan capable of reducing human lives to their DNA code, redefining the concepts of sickness and health, and delivering the power of life and death decisions into the hands of those behind the AI.

Even if the algorithm accidentally discards some who are treatable in order to make that happen…

A powerful, near-future, sci-fi, conspiracy thriller, perfect for fans of Blake Crouch and Rob Hart.

 Based on the true-life rationing of kidney dialysis in 1960s America, a medical intern in 1992 Seattle tries to leave his painful past behind, only to uncover a shocking truth of thirty years prior and the lasting, generational harm of hidden secrets…

After a co-intern dies by suicide, a grieving Noah Meier commits an accidental error. In a desperate move to save his patient’s life, he covertly seeks help from audacious surgical resident Marah Maddox, igniting a bond between them.

When the hospital is suspiciously quick to sweep everything under the rug, Noah turns to his late father’s journal for guidance and makes a chilling discovery, all while trying to stay out of the crosshairs of abusive Dr. Rankel.

As the hospital’s patriarchal power structures, and the truth about his father’s past, threaten Noah and Marah’s burgeoning relationship, Noah will have to choose: shoulder his father’s devastating legacy or create his own daring future.

An intense historical medical drama perfect for fans of Grey’s Anatomy.

REVIEWS

“…skillfully written, incisive, and unafraid to confront ethical issues head-on. A thought-provoking work about young doctors, modern medicine, and ethical quagmires.” Kirkus Reviews

“We called Lycette’s last book, which explored AI’s role in medicine, “truly important,” and we’ll double-down on that for The Committee Will Kill You. The book is exceptionally written, and only the most heartless reader won’t be immediately bought into Noah’s plight. Lycette has delivered another work of serious fiction that deserves a wide audience.” – Best Thrillers.com

“If you need a gripping read that will stay with you long after you close the book, Dr. Lycette has already written the perfect prescription.”-The Big Thrill
