The Lie of the Beholder
Until then I had always assumed that it was just a rumor and had never dared to ask. “So it’s true then?”
“What’s true?”
“That you plucked out your own eye! I always thought there had been an accident!”
Dr. Jager looked at me, surprised and maybe a little indignant. "Surely there was no accident but very much a purpose."
When Conrad Weaver, a former drug addict, goes to visit his quirky former roommate, the inventor of the world’s first bionic eye, he stumbles upon a missing person’s case that threatens to drag him back into his old life. In a city run by Foond, the search engine megacorporation, a world saturated with AI fakery and social media, it is not always easy to discern what is true or right however alluring.
The Dragon's Widow
"Fugelmons is dead." The death of a dragon is always good news if you're human. Unless you're Lady Fugelmons. Unless you're the detective hired to solve his murder...assuming he's actually human.
On Drekheim, homeworld of the dragons, the only people with a lower status than humans are drasts, half human, half dragon. Drake Blaze, private investigator, has his work cut out for him defending the rights of humans, penetrating lies and unveiling secrets, but there’s one secret he must never reveal.
