A virtuosic mashup of Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler by way of Marvel--the story of a detective investigating the murder of a Titan, one of societys most powerful, medically-enhanced elites Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when hes called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he is surprised at first to see that the victim appears to be a rather typical, milquetoast techie. But on closer inspection, he finds the victim is more than seven feet tall. And though he doesnt look a day over thirty, he is actually ninety years old. Clearly, he is a Titan--one of this dystopian, near-future societys genetically altered elites. There are only a few thousand Titans worldwide, all thanks to Stefan Tonfamecascas discovery of the controversial T7 genetic therapy, which elevated his family to near godlike status. A dead Titan is big news . . . a murdered Titan is unimaginable. But Titans are Cals specialty. In fact, his ex-girlfriend, Athena, is a Titan. And not just any Titan--shes Stefans daughter, heir to the Tonfamecasca empire. As Cal digs deeper into the murder investigation, he begins to unravel the complicated threads of what should have been a straightforward case, and it becomes clear hes on the trail of a crime whose roots run deep into the dark heart of the world. Titanium Noir is a tightly woven, intricate tale of murder, betrayal, and vengeance.NICK HARKAWAY is the author of four previous novels, The Gone-Away World, Angelmaker, Tigerman, and Gnomon, as well as a nonfiction work about digital culture, The Blind Giant: Being Human in a Digital World.
