In a world where your job owns your soul, one runaway employee will risk everything-even his last shred of humanity-to stay free.
When Orin fled the Vocational Harmony Bureau, he thought he'd escaped the corporate machine that dictated every breath of his life. Now hidden in a quiet upstate town under the Job Witness Protection programme, he keeps his head down, clocking in at a local rec centre and pretending to be ordinary. But the ghosts of industry don't rest-and neither do the people who profit from them.
When his only companion, a cat named Darla, goes missing, Orin's fragile peace collapses. A retired detective with too many secrets offers to help, but their search drags them into a war between a crime dynasty and the Bureau he thought he'd outrun. In a world where employment is enslavement and surveillance never sleeps, trust is the most dangerous currency of all.
Job Witness Protection is a razor-edged dystopian thriller about autonomy, loyalty, and the small acts of rebellion that keep us human-no matter who's watching.
