It was the case of a lifetime......but then it went sideways on her. And now she's partnered again with her former lover, Jake, in the Artificial Crimes Unit.
"Of course, the ending caught me off guard but all the best thrillers have this...This is a great thriller/sci-fi story and one series that you won't be disappointed in." -J.D. Bronder Book Reviews
The human suspect Maddie put behind bars for murdering prostitutes might have been crazy but it turns out he was innocent, and now she finds herself re-assigned to the Artificial Crimes Unit hunting a digitally resurrected Jack the Ripper from two hundred years ago.
Protecting a young orphan girl who witnessed one of the murders while pursuing an evil genius hacking Personal Services Androids to embed them with algorithms from infamous serial killers from the past, Maddie also has to deal now with Jake.
"It might not make sense, but the beloved Media tags it 'Murder by Munchausen.' For a price, there are hackers out there who will reprogram a synthoid to do your dirty work. The bad news: no fingerprints or DNA left at the crime scene. The good news-at least for us-is that they're like missiles: once they hit their target, they're usually as harmless as empty brass. The trick is to get them before they melt down their core OS data, so you can get the unit into forensics for analysis and, hopefully, an arrest." [excerpt from Murder by Munchausen]
Artificial Intelligence? Fuhgeddaboudit!
