Description

84K by Claire North is a chilling dystopian thriller that asks what happens when justice has a price tag. In this unsettling near-future Britain, every crime has a monetary value, meaning that those with enough wealth can literally get away with murder. Theo, a quiet worker at the Criminal Audit Office, spends his days calculating these grim costs, ensuring debts to society are properly paid.

But when his former lover Dani is murdered, Theo can no longer treat death as just another statistic. Determined to uncover the truth and confront the corrupt system, he risks everything to challenge a society where morality has been replaced with profit.

Dark, thought-provoking, and emotionally powerful, 84K is perfect for fans of speculative fiction that explores morality, power, and the human cost of inequality.
