Imagine Jack Reacher or Harry Bosch or Lucas Davenport investigating crime in a space city of two million residents, with chases taking them across worlds, their quarry defeating technology of the future to commit what remains the most horrific offense today: murder.
Meet Cuss Abbott, Interworld Marshal, in his debut story, written in the same compelling style as the popular series mentioned above. Lagrange Rising is a fun read. Fast paced. Edgier than my other books.
Blurb for Lagrange Rising
The bodies of wealthy seniors are being dumped in Lagrange, their ID implants cut from their skulls, their bank accounts emptied. Authorities learn that the elderly victims were snatched from Nova Terra on the Moon. Lagrange is a sovereign nation, a massive space structure orbiting between Earth and the Moon, so the chilling crimes fall under the purview of the Interworld Marshals Service. Cuss Abbott, a resourceful and tenacious investigator, starts the case with few clues, a rising body count, and politicians demanding answers. The criminals are seemingly invisible, disappearing after each heinous act. Shadowed by his partner, an enhanced human named Ygo, Cuss corners the butchers, setting in motion a confrontation with tragic results. Distraught, he bulls ahead, pursuing the killers across worlds to a suspense-filled showdown.
