Nimbus (Unabridged‪)‬

Peter Ambrose is a struggling jazz musician who earns some extra income installing brain prosthetics on the side. One day, someone from his hidden and forgotten past turns up dead - and Peter has to reluctantly go out and find out who might want to eliminate the surviving members of the Nimbus Project. 

Nimbus is both dark and funny, a blend of science fiction, noir, cultural satire, and suspense.
