Murder by Munchausen Trilogy
by M.T. Bass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mystery/Sci-Fi/Police
Procedural
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A police procedural
sci fi thriller ripped from future headlines!
After
Jake shoots and kills a murder suspect who turns out to be the son of a
powerful city councilman, he finds himself demoted to the Artificial Crimes
Unit, tracking down androids hacked and programmed to be hit men.
When
his case of an “extra-judicial” divorce settlement takes a nasty turn with DNA
from a hundred-year-old murder in Boston and a signature that harkens back to
the very first serial killer ever in London, Jake finds himself tangled up in
the brutal slayings of prostitutes being investigated by his former
Robbery/Homicide partner, Maddie–who is now his lover.
But a
madman, The Baron, is just getting started with his AI recreations of Jack the
Ripper's brutal crimes. And Maddie and
Jake are teamed up again to stop the carnage as the Baron's army of human
replicants imitate history's most notorious serial killers.
"It
might not make sense, but the beloved Media tags it 'Murder by Munchausen.' For
a price, there are hackers out there who will reprogram a synthoid to do your
dirty work. The bad news: no fingerprints or DNA left at the crime scene. The
good news—at least for us—is that they’re like missiles: once they hit their
target, they’re usually as harmless as empty brass. The trick is to get them
before they melt down their core OS data, so you can get the unit into
forensics for analysis and, hopefully, an arrest." [excerpt from Murder by
Munchausen]
Artificial Intelligence? Fuhgeddaboudit!
Artificial Evil has a name…Munchausen.
