All the while Richelle must hide from her co-workers etc that she has no heartbeat or pulse and is perpetually cold.This is a must-read for paranormal lovers, it is one of the best Zombie stories I have read. I can't wait for the sequel as I must find out how Richelle continues on this journey. Does she stay a zombie, how does she live, there better be a sequel soon." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Outstandingly original! I don't often write reviews but this was such a witty, original and engaging storyline I had to do it. The premise is fantastic and we are taken on a great journey. I highly recommend this and cannot wait for future installments." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I really loved this book and loved Richelle. This was definitely a concept I've never seen done this way before and I loved it! This book was not predictable either, it surprised me several times. The characters are believable and I enjoyed them all. I do not give spoilers but will say that the detective finds herself at the very beginning of the book to be dead, yet alive. I pretty much had to have the book pried from my hands so I could go to work and do other things I need to do on a daily basis. I really hope this book is the first in a series of many. Great job J.R. Rain, you've done it yet again!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I've never encountered a book quite like this. I would never deliberately read a book about a zombie, but this character is not a member of the Walking Dead cast. I enjoyed seeing the afterlife from a completely different perspective than that of my own imagination. Really loved the dead cop, Bull, from the past. In fact, mingling the present and the past was my favorite aspect of the book. This is written in quite an intriguing way! It gets my top rating!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "J.R. Rain has become one of my favorite authors and I couldn’t wait to get started on this new novel that he co-authored with Rod Kierkegaard Jr. Rain does not disappoint with this latest novel, no vampires this time, a zombie and not your typical Walking Dead flesh-eating zombie, but a female detective who doesn’t realize she is actually dead at first. Rain really impresses me with his ability to write female leads that aren’t flaky and unbelievable." ―Amazon reviewer

Not all accidents are murder…When a private detective is asked to review a fatality at a remote facility he expected nothing but an accident because that’s what the report said. The report was wrong.The facility was above the snow line and buried in a mountain so reaching it wasn’t easy. It had been designed that way. The facility’s harsh isolation ensured the research within it remained hidden from governments and corporate spies and it also stopped the research escaping. Human clones. They hadn’t told the detective about them. But to be fair, he hadn’t told them he wasn’t really a private detective.˃˃˃Written in first person THE DETECTIVE is a stand alone techno thriller.

The protagonist is outwardly similar to a hard boiled PI but if you read between the lines he’s a bit of an idiot, mostly because he’s self centred.There are a few mysteries, some suspense, some action and hopefully enough food for the mind to get your imagination firing even when the book has been put down.Of course the ever important climax won’t disappoint. It’s gripping and it’s a thrill ride that will keep the book in your hand until the very last page.Q - So, what makes The Detective special?A - It’s different. The story is set in the current world with the only the variant being one isolated facility that produces human clones for research (in secret). The style is reminiscent of the hard boiled/ noir detective novels although it carries aspects of a technothriller novel.The Detective starts off slowly, takes time to establish the world and its characters before it cranks up the heat and gives you everything you expect from a fast paced thriller.Q - Is it planned to be part of a series? If I read one will I be stuck reading them all?A - It will be part of a series, but… I like reading books that complete a story arc by the final chapter and all my books will do the same. You will be able to pick this book up, read it and at the end walk away satisfied that the mystery has been solved and story arc completed.Q - Will there be more books featuring this protagonist?The antagonist maybe. The protagonist? Possibly. If people like him. If he comes back it will be in another PI thriller / clones thriller with similar claustrophobic elements to it.Thanks for reading, & I trust you enjoy.
