Ashetown Blues: Three Sci-Fi Noir Stories
Beschreibung des Verlags
"Nobody knows tough times until you've spent a year in Ashetown."
In the Imperial capital, the Ashetown district is where the trash flows downstream and where private detective Thomas Martel calls home.
Ashetown Blues is a collection of three sci-fi noir stories featuring Martel as he searches for meaning in a world where right and wrong merge into the gray of the night.
"The Cold Sleep"
Even the rich have problems, even after they're dead.
Martel is hired to find a young socialite after her body goes missing from the morgue, but the truth he finds goes deeper than six feet under.
"Lady Falcata"
Ashetown was no place for a lady, but Lady Falcata was not the lady she used to be. Of noble birth, Lady Falcata had traded a silver spoon for a pair of nine-millimeter pistols and never looked back.
"Wasabi City"
The Little Tokyo enclave dealt with their own problems until gangsters started dying at the hands of a mythical Oni. Now, the Yakuza need Martel's help, but will the blood flow deeper than a P.I. can swim?
