''Captivating from start to finish'' The Big Issue
Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when he''s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he is surprised at first to see that the victim appears to be a rather typical techie. But on closer inspection, he finds the victim is over seven feet tall. Clearly, he is a Titan - one of this dystopian, near-future society''s genetically-altered elites.
There are only a few thousand Titans worldwide, all thanks to Stefan Tonfamecasca''s discovery of the controversial T7 genetic therapy, which elevated his family to near godlike status. A dead Titan is big news . . . a murdered Titan is unimaginable. But Titans are Cal''s specialty. In fact, his ex-girlfriend, Athena, is a Titan. And not just any Titan - she''s Stefan''s daughter, heir to the Tonfamecasca empire.
As Cal digs deeper into the murder investigation, it soon becomes clear he''s on the trail of a crime whose roots run deep into the dark heart of the world. Titanium Noir is a tightly woven, intricate tale of murder, betrayal, and vengeance.
