Cut and Shut: Kapamentis Crime, Book 3

Meat and metal. Bone meets chrome.

Street gangs. Glamour models. Console jockeys. With tensions between mankind and the other species of the Ministerium at an all-time high, the human citizens of Kapamentis will take whatever cybernetic advantage they can get. But when a string of patients wind up dead from infected implants, the next step in human evolution might not be as safe as it seems.

With his detective licence revoked, Thaddeus Cutter is reduced to gutting fish down at the dock. Commander Eelo offers him a way back to his old life, but it soon becomes apparent he cares more about uncovering the truth than anyone at the precinct. He’s forced to finish the case alone… and his investigation takes him down the darkest districts of Kapamentis yet.

Are cyber-docs deliberately botching Homo sapiens’ implants? Or can the human body simply not handle the chrome?
