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. Touching on the style of a noir detective novel this one is a stimulating read. So ion you like your thrillers with a touch of sci fi, download a sample or buy THE DETECTIVE today.Interview with the AuthorQ - Why should readers give this book a try?A - Because it’s fun. 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.
