An honest cop impaled through the chest. A detective fighting his way to the truth.

Private eye Charlie Madison saw his share of murder and mayhem during the war. But he's never seen anything like this on home soil. The culprit can't be human. A mandroid, then? Cyborg?

Madison's investigation takes him deep into the underground world of extreme fighting -- duels to the death, showcased beneath the city's biggest casino. Along the way, he discovers a new steroid quietly coming out of Little Tokyo. If rumors are true, it can turn a man into a killing machine.

Before vengeful police can find and execute the murderer, another officer is found slain. With rogue yakuza, the Russian mob, and Federal agents in the mix, Madison must put the pieces of this violent mystery together before the city loses another good cop.

Problem is, the killer may be one of his own clients.

Not Kindle Unlimited, one of my freebies they give out and hope you find time to review it.

Think read them out of order, read From the Case Files of Charlie Madison, P.I. THE SUPRAHUMAN S E C R E T Collects: Girl of Great Price, Immaterial Evidence, Yakuza Territory, Chimera Effect. Now accepting…Unusual clients. Pretty sure Doppelganger and Death Duel came first.

An cop impaled through the chest, a detective fighting for the truth, wondering if he's up against a human, a mandroid, a cyborg? And he has to deal with vengeful police, rogue yakuza, the russian mob, and the feds.

Reading order is/should be: Doppelgänger’s Curse - Death Duel - Girl of Great Price - Immaterial Evidence - Yakuza Territory - Chimera Effect - Up In Smoke {2017}, The Gifted Ones (2018)
