Metropolis wasn't a bad place, but it wasn't a good one either.
THESE MEAN STREETS, DARKLY is the prequel to the cyberpunk, detective series, LIQUID COOL.
It's a world of colossal skyscrapers. Hovercars fly above in the dark, rainy skies and gray people walk below on the grimy, hard streets in the "Neon Jungle." Uber-governments and megacorporations fight for control of the super-city, but so does crime.
An average woman, Carol-hardworking and decent in every way- loses her daughter to the psycho Red Rabbit. Can Police Central find the girl in time-alive? And is it really a random, senseless kidnapping in the fifty-million-plus supercity?
There are a million victims and perpetrators in this High-Tech, Low-Life World. This is one of those stories.before we meet our private eye (and unlikely hero), Cruz, in the debut novel, Liquid Cool.
