The Accidental Executor

The Accidental Executor is a high-stakes thriller set in New Orleans, where Nate Bell, an ordinary man with no ties to a criminal underworld, unexpectedly becomes the executor of the vast estate of a recently deceased billionaire, Elias LaRoux. What seems like a simple legal matter soon spirals into a dangerous conspiracy involving powerful AI systems, corrupt elites, and deadly secrets that LaRoux left behind.



Nate discovers that LaRoux’s true legacy isn’t just wealth — it’s the AI known as ÉCHO, a self-aware system built to predict and manipulate global events, from market crashes to political shifts. As Nate digs deeper into LaRoux’s unfinished will, he uncovers hidden pieces of a puzzle that could either give him control over the most powerful technological force on Earth or lead to his destruction.



With the help of a mysterious hacker named Nova, Nate must navigate a web of intrigue, betrayal, and shadowy figures, including rogue former LaRoux employees and a secretive cabal of elites known as the Committee of Shadows. As Nate races to unlock LaRoux’s final secrets, he faces impossible choices: whether to control ÉCHO’s power for himself, destroy it, or fall victim to a system that may already have its own plans for the future.



In a city brimming with ghosts of the past and shadows of the present, Nate Bell must decide if he is a pawn in a game far beyond his control… or if he will change the course of history forever.
