The Retroactive Insurance Adjuster
A Time Travel Noir

About this book:

Frank Miller doesn't carry a gun—he carries a clipboard, a chronometer, and a fountain pen loaded with erasure-proof ink. As a claims investigator for ChronoMutual Assurance, his beat is the timeline itself: arsonists with thermal lances in 1938 Providence, dead policyholders filing claims from 2042, and corporate adjusters forging history to balance the books. When a routine hurricane claim reveals a temporal extraction operation, and a century-old life policy resurrects a corpse who won't stay buried, Miller uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from the Jazz Age to the orbital habitats—where the premiums are paid in paradox and the payouts rewrite reality.

*Chandler meets Chrononauts in a razor-sharp noir where every chapter turns the screw tighter: double indemnity across double histories, dead drops in speakeasies, and a hurricane that feeds on causality leaks. Miller is the perfect guide—cynical, competent, and just tired enough to be dangerous—navigating a world where insurance fraud is a capital crime against physics and the fine print can get you erased.*

Twenty-six chapters of smoke, mirrors, and chronometers. The timeline is crooked. The ledger is bleeding. And Frank Miller is the only adjuster willing to deny the claim.
