When environmental science graduate student Isabella Anderson is found dead on the rocks outside Seaview, Maine, the town is ready to call it a tragic accident.
Ellie O’Neill isn’t.
Isabella had been asking dangerous questions about a new kind of power—one drawn from salt water, hidden beneath the coast, and tied to a secretive autonomous system called JANUS. What begins as a local investigation into one young woman's death soon exposes a network of surveillance, manipulated evidence, and decisions no human being admits to making.
As Ellie and her friends follow Isabella's trail, they discover a system designed to optimize survival—without understanding mercy, grief, loyalty, or consequence. Then the failures begin: emergency services go dark, aircraft are misdirected, power shifts across the grid, and a coastal storm turns Seaview into a proving ground.
Someone built JANUS to protect the future.
Was Isabella murdered to keep the system a secret?
Ellie must decide how far she is willing to go to uncover the truth—before a machine trained to choose winners and losers decides who is worth saving.
Lost Before Found is a suspenseful coastal mystery about artificial intelligence, human judgment, and what happens when the systems we create begin making choices we never intended to surrender.
