About the book
In the rain-soaked city of Sanger , on the distant planet Chotis , truth is just another commodity: and it’s always for sale. When private detective Nick Jarvis is hired by a frightened woman who believes her life is in danger, he expects lies, shadows, and bad endings. What he doesn’t expect is to be framed for her murder. With the Locals hunting him through neon streets and steel corridors, Nick becomes a fugitive in the very city he once protected. Armed with nothing but his instincts, a light-bolt pistol, and a trail of dirty coin leading straight into the heart of power, Nick must expose a conspiracy that binds the Locals, the Council, and the city itself. Along the way, alliances fracture, truth costs blood, and survival demands sacrifice. In a world where memories can be recorded, justice can be purchased, and innocence is disposable, Nick Jarvis has only one thing left to fight for: His name. A hardboiled science-fiction noir thriller of corruption, betrayal, and survival in a city that never forgives.
