Better Than Chocolate

Hunting down his partner's killer is all that matters to SF Police Inspector Noah Dane, and the last thing he wants is to be stuck taking part in the department's latest cost-cutting scheme. Bad enough his new partner's an android, but even worse, she's Marilyn Monroe.



When two more murders fall onto Noah's plate, he begins to see a pattern that makes him extremely nervous. What do the trollish aliens who quote Shakespeare and the celibacy-obsessed talkshow host Chastity Blume have to do with the situation? And what exactly is it about the virtual reality device V-Real that makes it "better than chocolate"?



Better Than Chocolate is a sexy, gender-bending, satiric romp masquerading as a police procedural set in a future San Francisco where anything goes, and usually does. By the time the mystery is solved, Noah Dane and Chastity Blume make it clear there's a better way to stop an alien invasion than guns and bombs. And it really is better than chocolate.
