What this book is about
Jonathan Moore's literary science fiction noir is set in a near-future San Francisco where homicide detective Ross Carver is handed a case that the rest of his department won't touch — a death connected to something hidden in the wealthy enclaves above the fog line. Moore's atmospheric thriller blends the best elements of literary fiction, SF speculation, and hard-boiled crime into a genuinely distinctive novel.
