by Deanna Knippling (Author)
Nobody surprises-or unsettles-readers quite like DeAnna Knippling, veteran author of over 80 books.
Unflinching private investigator Frank Mallory stalks a near-future Minneapolis of muggy August nights and neon fog. Skyscraper windows blaze and scrolling ads flicker over a city hooked on Mindsight, a new street drug that rewires human empathy.
Fueled by burnt coffee and cheap bourbon, Frank trusts his own blunt instincts over any drug. His latest case: a dead serial killer whose victims couldn't find the desire to resist him.
A gritty, twisted near-future mystery about free will and what it takes to keep it.
