In a city where the judges are corrupt, and the police are bought off, a woman has gone missing. Her fiancé, a secretive businessman, has come to private detective Joan Hudson to find her. Without much to go by, separating the truth and lies of his words, Joan must navigate a dangerous path of sadists, blackmailers, and damaged men.
This is the full, uncensored version of the story.
Other than what the blurb revealed, I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I was kind of surprised.
The story/plot was okay, nothing special, basically a private eye looking for a "missing" person.
What really captured my attention was the character development and the world building. What is "The Order"? What about the automatons? And the emperor? I would definitely like to see more of this world!
