What initially appears to be a straightforward murder case quickly evolves into a complex conspiracy involving corporate power, political corruption, and deeply rooted social inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"1271\"\u003eThe novel explores a world where physical death is no longer permanent for the wealthy, fundamentally transforming society, morality, and the concept of identity itself. Those who can afford it live repeatedly through new bodies, while others remain trapped in a single, mortal existence.
