84 K by Claire North
In a near-future Britain where corporations run the state and every crime carries a price tag, a weary civil servant who calculates the monetary value of human lives is jolted into rebellion when a woman he once loved is murdered and her killer can simply pay the fee. As he navigates privatized prisons, predatory debt, and a labyrinth of bureaucratic cruelty, he risks everything to expose the system’s rot and reclaim a measure of justice. A bleak, propulsive tale about the commodification of life, complicity, and the cost of doing the right thing.
