Immortalists

Ex-cop, Mordent, is an irascible, anachronistic PI with a noir sensibility and a bubblewrap fetish. Hired to investigate a missing person case he believes the job to be an easy pay-check, but when the kid turns up dead and appears to have aged beyond death, Mordent finds the mystery is only just beginning. When a second body is found similarly aged, Mordent is pulled into rival gang leaders’ quests for immortality, a race where the objective is not to finish. And it becomes personal when Marina, a psychic, disappears after tipping off the police about the second body. Mordent had unfinished business with her.

The Immortalists is the first in a series of exciting crime novels putting a neo-noir twist on the genre conventions of bums and dames, corruption and perversion, and cops and informers; all played out on rain-soaked streets amid a shadow-filled city.

Fost politist, Mordent, este un PI irascibil, anacronic, cu o sensibilitate noir si un fetis cu folie de bule. Angajat sa investigheze un caz de persoana disparuta, crede ca slujba este o verificare usoara a platii, dar cand copilul apare mort si pare sa fi imbatranit dincolo de moarte, Mordent constata ca misterul abia incepe.
