This "unique and memorable" blend of futuristic dystopia and dark
detective story features "one of the more offbeat characters in fiction"
(Booklist).
In this "uncannily original" series, the man known as Dewey Decimal
works in a near-future Manhattan decimated by terrorism and plague,
running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard - though he'd
prefer to spend his time among the stacks at his beloved New York Public
Library (Laura Lippman). When Dewey is tasked with disrupting unrest
from a growing group of outcast civilians, and simultaneously given the
assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is forced to look
within and make some impossible choices - and it will put him at odds
with his benefactor and the powers that be....
"A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles
Stross." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Dewey is an unlikely hero, a gimpy, smart-mouthed loner, obsessed with
a brand-name hand sanitizer. His indomitable spirit and his distinctive
ghetto-infused, educated patter give Larson's series its unique and
spicy character." (Publishers Weekly)
"One of the finest (and weirdest) thriller trilogies ever." (Mystery
Scene)
