The Real Simulacra

Twenty years after the unexplained "Great Transition" brought humanity to the perpetually rainy planet of November, someone is murdering the not-quite-human "simulacra" of New Portland. Detective Noah Petrov and his womanizing partner Jake hunt the killer through churches, schools, basements, and bedrooms.

Meanwhile, Reverend Archer of the Neo-Gnostic church, History Professor Jim Feinstein, the members of the Old World Appreciation Society, and the kidnapped simulacrum Jennifer also struggle to discover the truth, and find The Real Simulacra. The Real Simulacra is a funny, tense ontological mystery, where the biggest mystery of all might be the wrong question to ask.
