Titanium Noir

Private eye Cal Sounder is a “fixer” who smooths over issues between the elite Titans and mere humans in a dystopian future. Titans are genetically engineered, mega-rich, practically immortal, and nearly indestructible, so Cal gets called in when one turns up dead. His investigation into the murder of one Titan, who could only have been killed by a fellow Titan, puts him between a rock (the elites who want it all covered up) and a hard place (the cops who need a solution—or a scapegoat—that keeps them out of the Titans’ sights). If Cal can’t find the murderer, then he’s bound to be the goat. This SF thriller hits all the beats of a gritty noir mystery, wrapped in a near-future setting where immortality can be had for a price, and those able to pay it are willing to compromise everything, including their humanity.
