Minority Of One

Synthetic Companion Jacob Kind is on the run from the police and searching for Munson Tolliver, the man who murdered his adopted mother, Sylvia. Tolliver was an infamous serial killer who fascinated the nation... and who was supposed to be dead at the time of Sylvia's death.

Clearly, he is not dead. Nor does anyone believe Jacob that Tolliver is still alive.

As a result, Jacob heads to the site of Munson's first public killing, in South Bend, IN, to search for clues in Tolliver's past that will help Jacob locate him. 

Jacob also has to learn to pass as human, which gives him a unique insight into humanity, especially when he finds himself embroiled in a very public, very violent protest against the use of synthetics, one that has pitted the city against itself.

Against his will, Jacob is drawn to a pair of women: Claire, an advocate for synthetic rights, and Companion-hating Candis, a desperate woman working the streets to provide for her young daughter, Bethany.

It leads to a brutal confrontation that threatens to change Jacob forever.
