Description
There is no crime, only sickness.
In the future, Neos dread nothing more than a detective nurse asking the fateful question: ‘Are you well?’
The disillusioned, reclusive Ben Evoli is an Infinite—one of the elites whose reputational wealth is beyond measure. A successful mindwriter of entertainment and lifestyle toys, he’d sacrifice it all for daughter Saf, and troubled son Mal. His apparent lack of mission in life makes him a target for ambitious nurses all over the world, who would Consign him for a Cure.
After decades of health guild apathy, the celebrated Detective Nurse Eir Frijberg reignites zeal for curing Greed. During a raid on the annual Infinite’s Inductee Gala, where Ben is a reluctant guest of honour, Eir’s plans are thwarted. When an old taboo is exposed, her adversaries multiply.
Maddox Price, a scheming, amoral Infinite who keeps coming back from the dead, traps Ben and pressures him to take sides against the health guilds.
As Eir is embroiled in scandal, she comes to believe in Ben, setting herself against overwhelming forces rallying behind her one-time adjutant and lover, Vör Hoyur.
Ben must accept the true power of his mindwriting products, which could kill millions. As century-old secrets emerge, destiny propels Ben into an inevitable battle with himself, and only the love of his family might save him.
Advance Praise
"""I can't put it down! Reminds me of a mix of Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut, with aspects of Margaret Atwood.""
""This is the most unique and original concept and style of writing I've probably ever seen … it really struck me as quite wonderful.""
""Depiction of Neo culture is as immense as it is captivating. You play voyeur to a society which in one breath, titillates; the next, appalls.""
