The Easytown · Box Set 1-3

The Easytown Novels are a stunning example of how two very different genres combine to create a frighteningly real near future world where the advancement of technology has stalled for the average citizen, while the divide between the rich and the poor widens.

Classic noir stories of the past focus on the city with a thousand stories, investigated by the hard-nosed detective beset upon by the femme fatale, unfortunate victims, and who-done-it mysteries. Meanwhile, the hallmarks of the cyberpunk genre are the futuristic elements of climate change, social depravity, moral ambiguity, and corporate greed. The Easytown Novels combines the two genres in a way that will make this series a staple in the sci-fi noir genre.

The Immorality Clause, book 1

Easytown’s robotic pleasure clubs are a serial killer’s playground.

The futuristic slum in eastern New Orleans is a violent place where any vice can be satisfied--for a price. As long as the taxes are paid and tourists continue to flock to the city, businesses are allowed to operate as they see fit. Easytown has given rise to the robotic sex trade; where the robots are nearly human and always better than the real thing.

Homicide detective, Zach Forrest, has never trusted the machines. When a string of grisly murders rocks the city, he must hunt down the killer responsible. With no witnesses, and no evidence, Forrest embarks on an investigation that will challenge the very scope of reality. Will Forrest find the killer before he becomes the next victim?

Tears of a Clone, book 2

Torture tourism is an illegal sport in Easytown—unless the victim is a clone, then nobody cares.

When Detective Zach Forrest discovers the mutilated bodies of three clones in a garbage compactor, he’s dismayed that no one wants anything to do with the investigation. He takes matters into his own hands and visits Tommy Voodoo, aka The King of Easytown, to get information.

Forrest is shocked to learn of the multi-million dollar industry of torture tourism going on right under everyone's nose. He embarks on an unauthorized investigation and discovers that the truth behind the clone murders is more terrifying than he’d imagined.

West End Droids East End Dames, book 3

Easytown’s back alleys are even more dangerous as criminals have thrown away the last of their humanity—now nothing can stop them.

Just when his life seemed to be getting back on track, Detective Zach Forrest finds himself in the midst of a whirlwind of treachery, lies, and mayhem that threatens to unravel the delicate balance of power in Easytown.

Everything comes crashing down on Forrest when a rampaging cyborg attacks him, disrupting his investigation into the death of a lowly thumper club doorman who knew too much. Before he can determine his next move, a beautiful, mysterious evidence clerk lands on his doorstep, forcing her way into his life despite the NOPD’s rules against fraternization.

Meanwhile, to combat the rapidly increasing number of cybernetically enhanced criminals, the police chief assigns him the difficult task of tracking down and stopping the street doctors who build the abominations at any cost.

But, will it cost Zach more than he’d expected?
