In the late 2070s the Douti Device practically eliminated murder. So, when a double homicide crosses the desk of Detective Olivia Temple, it immediately grabs her attention. Not only is it a chance to work the first real murder in years, but it is also because of the victims’ identities. Two bodies of the exact same person. As Temple works the case, trying to figure out how somebody has committed an impossible crime, it becomes apparent that something much bigger is at play…
Derek Power began writing in early 2001, mainly focusing on short stories. After winning the odd contest here and then he figured he would try and write something a little longer. A few false starts later he managed to complete his first novel, titled Filthy Henry: The Fairy Detective, in early 2013.
He currently live in Skerries, Co. Dublin, Ireland with his wife and young children.
When he isn't writing about Filthy Henry he can be found pretending to know stuff about computers, since that helps to pay the bills.
He also hates writing about himself in the third person, but these sort of things don't generally get written in the first person.
