1949 - Hardcover

by Dustin Weaver (Author)

"Weaver (Paklis) merges elements of cyberpunk and film noir in this admirably ambitious, totally engaging sci-fi thriller." --Library Journal

By day, Detective Blank is a cop on the trail of a vicious serial killer in the year 1949. But when she sleeps, Blank lives a different life-- two hundred years in the future. Is Detective Blank next on the killer's list? Her dreams may hold the key to the case, if only she can remember them in time. The danger mounts and the suspense builds as the detective closes in, in this genre-bending sci fi-noir thriller.

For Detective Blank, to catch the killer will mean facing her greatest mystery--herself.
