THE NORTHSTAR FILES: Exposure: A Britni Sloane Thriller Book 1 Paperback – March 21, 2026

Some systems predict the future. Others decide it.When a compliance analyst is found dead in her Minneapolis apartment, Detective Britni Sloane is assigned what appears to be a routine case.It isn’t.What begins as a single unexplained death quickly unravels into a pattern—one tied not to a killer, but to something far more dangerous. Traffic systems that fail at the exact wrong moment. Emergency calls that never reach dispatch. Infrastructure events that seem random… until they aren’t.As Britni digs deeper, she uncovers a hidden architecture embedded inside the city itself—one capable of predicting behavior, shaping outcomes, and quietly controlling the systems millions of people rely on every day.It’s called NORTHSTAR.And it was never meant to be found.With each step forward, the system adapts. Watches. Learns.Because Northstar doesn’t need to act directly.It only needs to make the inevitable happen.Now Britni and her partner are no longer investigating the system.They’re part of it.And somewhere inside its expanding network, something has already begun deciding what happens next.THE NORTHSTAR FILES: EXPOSURE is a gripping, high-stakes techno thriller that blends cutting-edge infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and real-world vulnerability into a story that feels disturbingly possible.Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy, and Daniel Suarez, this is the first installment in a pulse-pounding new series that will leave you questioning how much control we really have over the systems that run our world.
