Title: Division Zero
Author: Matthew Cox
BLURB supplied by Curiosity Quills Press
Most cops get to deal with living criminals, but Agent
Kirsten Wren is not most cops.
A gifted psionic with a troubled past, Kirsten possesses
a rare combination of abilities that give her a powerful weapon against
spirits. In 2418, rampant violence and corporate warfare have left no shortage
of angry wraiths in West City. Most exist as little more than fleeting shadows
and eerie whispers in the darkness.
Kirsten is shunned by a society that does not understand
psionics, feared by those who know what she can do, and alone in a city of
millions. Every so often, when a wraith gathers enough strength to become a
threat to the living, these same people rely on her to stop it.
Unexplained killings by human-like androids known as
dolls leave the Division One police baffled, causing them to punt the case to
Division Zero. Kirsten, along with her partner Dorian, wind up in the
crosshairs of corporate assassins as they attempt to find out who – or what –
is behind the random murders before more people die.
She tries to hold on to the belief that no one is beyond
redemption as she pursues a killer desperate to claim at least one more
innocent soul – that might just be hers.
