"A futuristic genre-crossing story that fuses a murder mystery, high tech, and the search for joy."

It's the near-future; cars may drive themselves, but they don't fly. And military veteran Bill has no interest in anything past his PTSD until estranged cousin Marvin shows up. Now Bill's investigating the suicide of Marvin's lover, the mayor. His investigation leads him to NuTree protester, Julie Slade; married, has a thing for 1980s fashion and, apparently, snarky ex-SpecOps officers. Federal Agent Clyde Somers is in town, but he's here about the murdered NuTree. Except, he isn't. And what Bill doesn't know may kill him.
