Neurocyber 5: Running Blades

Each of the early short books in the series Neurocyber is designed to be read as a self-contained story, but the time-line of events between each book is tight and it may be preferable to read them in chronological order. In the previous short reads:- In a ruined city, a place of devastation and decay, all digital records, savings, trade, and money itself wiped away by massive astronomical events, can a biped still go alone down these decaying streets? Clarke Maxwell, private investigator, had been called to The Hall to collect a parcel from Guardian Lois. The Guardian engaged him to pass it unopened to a group of collectors and to try to establish why they were amassing artefacts and who was their leader. Before he could connect with the group, the package was stolen. Trying to formulate a plan, Clarke became suspicious of a yellow-haired woman. Following her led him to a very obese man but before he could take a step towards the guy, Clarke was sapped. When he came round, Clarke stumbled into the apartment next door where he found the body of a recently murdered old man. The cops turned up and took the concussed Clarke to a clinic where a medic sedated him. If you enjoyed the mystery of Lee Shorter's series Neurocyber so far, then you'll love this fifth instalment. Buy now before the price changes and you'll be on the edge of your seat with Clarke as he tries to solve the crimes.
