A literary psychological thriller about guilt, control, and algorithmic manipulation. When a grieving technologist finds the diary of Salzburg's last executioner, history and modern technology collide in a dark study of power and conscience. In an age when influence is engineered and outrage is optimized, The Salzburg Executioner asks what happens when the architect of manipulation becomes its victim. James Wohlmuth, a pioneer of behavioral algorithms in Seattle, retreats to Austria after his wife's tragic death and uncovers a centuries-old record of sanctioned violence. The diary he finds belonged to the city's last appointed executioner, a man whose duty to enforce obedience mirrors the digital systems James helped design. Two men, divided by centuries, yet bound by a single question: can morality survive within machinery built for control? As James studies the executioner's six decades of state-sanctioned terror, guilt turns to revelation, and revelation to rebellion. The boundary between confession and complicity disappears, exposing how spectacle and surveillance serve the same master-to keep societies obedient. Rooted in Salzburg's historical archives and shaped by the author's experience in artificial intelligence, The Salzburg Executioner fuses psychological tension with moral inquiry. It is a portrait of grief and a study of collective surrender. A novel for readers who sense that the tools of fear have evolved, not vanished, and that their reach is growing. For readers drawn to the moral architecture of Atonement and the psychological precision of The Silent Patient, this debut novel offers a rare fusion of intellect and emotion. It reveals how power adapts, how guilt endures, and how awareness itself can still be an act of defiance.
