Stefan Mendoza needs a lot of money, fast.
Mendoza and his team had retired, but now they need money to pay for an unexpected bill, and Mendoza is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a job for the team. They land in Detroit, hired to find a stolen prototype with little to go on. The client’s being vague and difficult, the cops don’t want to work with him, and nothing about this job just is adding up.
As with the earlier Mendoza series, this one starts with a bang and we’re out of the gate and running. The plot is fast paced, and with all of Adam’s books, the world he’s created is believable and populated with great characters.
While the earlier series had a cyberpunk/spy thriller vibe, this one reads like a cyberpunk/noir mystery. I found the mix to be enjoyable and engrossing!
