So when he´s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he is surprised at first to see that the victim appears to be a rather typical techie. But on closer inspection, he finds the victim is over seven feet tall. Clearly, he is a Titan - one of this dystopian, near-future society´s genetically-altered elites. There are only a few thousand Titans worldwide, all thanks to Stefan Tonfamecasca´s discovery of the controversial T7 genetic therapy, which elevated his family to near godlike status. A dead Titan is big news . . . a murdered Titan is unimaginable. But Titans are Cal´s specialty. In fact, his ex-girlfriend, Athena, is a Titan. And not just any Titan - she´s Stefan´s daughter, heir to the Tonfamecasca empire. As Cal digs deeper into the murder investigation, it soon becomes clear he´s on the trail of a crime whose roots run deep into the dark heart of the world. Titanium Noir is a tightly woven, intricate tale of murder, betrayal, and vengeance.
