- Synopsis
- This &“unique and memorable&” blend of futuristic dystopia and dark detective story features &“one of the more offbeat characters in fiction&” (Booklist). In this &“uncannily original&” series, the man known as Dewey Decimal works in a near-future Manhattan decimated by terrorism and plague, running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard—though he&’d prefer to spend his time among the stacks at his beloved New York Public Library (Laura Lippman). When Dewey is tasked with disrupting unrest from a growing group of outcast civilians, and simultaneously given the assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is forced to look within and make some impossible choices—and it will put him at odds with his benefactor and the powers that be . . . &“A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles Stross.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Dewey is an unlikely hero, a gimpy, smart-mouthed loner, obsessed with a brand-name hand sanitizer. His indomitable spirit and his distinctive ghetto-infused, educated patter give Larson&’s series its unique and spicy character.&” —Publishers Weekly &“One of the finest (and weirdest) thriller trilogies ever.&” —Mystery Scene
