Jeff Edwards signs in San Diego

Start: 03/24/2012 2:00 pm

Local author Jeff Edwards has won numberous awards for his military fiction. Now he turns his hand to future noir in Dome City Blues. (See Patrick’s review below.) Mysterious Galaxy’s own Jeffrey J. Mariotte said: “A tough, cynical PI, a sexy dame in distress, plenty of twists and turns -- in Dome City Blues, Jeff Edwards takes traditional hard-boiled noir and spins it into a vividly imagined future. Ex-private detective David Stalin inhabits a world you might not want to live in, but you definitely want to visit. Whether or not you'll survive the trip is anybody's guess ... but you won't stop flipping the pages until you're done. An impressive achievement!”

Even alone, beaten up by life, and a tad pissed at the world, David Stalin is still one of the best detectives that the Los Angeles Urban Environmental Enclosure 12, 12-A, and their surroundings have ever seen. Hell, throw in the rest of the world if you wish. There’s no one more tenacious then our hero. Even after his wife was taken from him. Even after four years of retirement. Even against all odds. The year is 2063 and he’s back on the job … and his past is about to catch up with him.

Take the intelligence of a Neal Stephenson novel, add a heaping helping of Richard K. Morgan kick-ass, fold in a cup or two of real world technical knowledge and an eye in the future, and then put the result in a noir dystopia bleak enough to make Philip K. Dick and William Gibson shed a few tears. Bake at 2000 degrees. You now have a small idea of what Jeff Edwards has in store for you in Dome City Blues.
