In a city where corporations overshadow the government, superhumans sign endorsement deals instead of saving lives, and humanity slips further from human every day, Ric Rhodes stays true to what he is: a chain-smoking, whiskey-sipping private investigator who doesn't know how to quit. But when a simple missing person's case detonates into a drug-fueled superhuman conspiracy, Ric finds himself with too many angles, not enough leads, and more than his fair share of demons. To survive the criminal underworld, he'll have to decide how much of his humanity he's willing to lose-and how much he can still afford to keep.
