Synopsis
Los Angeles. The 21st century. Rogue cop McNihil is asked to find a dead man's identity which has been absorbed by a prowler, a computer program that doubles as a sex toy in the virtual world of the Wedge. To his eyes, which have been enhanced so that he sees everything as a though it were a black-and-white 1930s detective film, it looks as if there is more to the case than he has been told. As McNihil tangles with everyone from a corporate executive who wields almost godlike power to clerks at fast-food body enhancement clinic, he comes to realize that among the dead, the living, and the non-corporeal, there are secrets that must be kept.

First Line: "At that moment, as the blue spark of sex burned a wire through his tongue, the heavens rained fire."
Industry Reviews
"It's a tough job but someone has to do it: bring the crime-and-thriller genre known as "noir" in to the 21st century. Fortunately, K. W. Jeter is up to the task, and in "Noir"...he lays out the future with a cheerless tenacity Raymond Chandler might have applauded."
