In a bleak future where daily smog warnings are routine and the politicians are dirtier than the environment, the people of Chicago turn to private investigators like Seven Sinclair when they want a case solved right. Seven isn't like most detectives since he's an android. He's not like most androids either. He's quirky and brazen and he's not chained down by the government-imposed privacy regulations.
Sergeant Antonio Rizzo is a good cop in a corrupt town, and he's getting too old for the job. He despises technology, and the robot is like the personification of his object of hatred.
When Seven's investigation into a simple hack leads to murder and all evidence points to him, he's forced to catch the true killer while he tries to stay out of Rizzo's crosshairs.
If you are looking for a mystery that is different, and yet still contains all that you would expect from a great mystery detective novel, don’t miss A Fatal Exception. It is a brilliant mix of noir and sci-fi. This is the first in a series and I can’t wait for the next book!
A cheeky playful modern-day murder mystery meal, heavily seasoned in Mickey Spillane stylish humor and over-the-top descriptive splashes, providing a sumptuous feast for any avid mystery reader.
He is a superpower kind of hero who has an entertaining command of humor. There are some one-liners in the story that stopped me to allow for some hearty laughter. I asked myself, 'Did I read that right?' and then I would read it again and howl with mirth.
Unlike most stories which include hacking details, this one felt realistic and believable. I even feel like I also learned a little about hacking and security from reading it.
