Metropolis wasn't a bad place, but it wasn't a good one either.

THESE MEAN STREETS, DARKLY is the prequel to the cyberpunk, detective series, LIQUID COOL.

It's a world of colossal skyscrapers. Hover-cars fly above in the dark, rainy skies and gray people walk below on the grimy, hard streets in the "Neon Jungle." Uber-governments and mega-corporations fight for control of the super-city, but so does crime.

An average woman, Carol-hardworking and decent in every way- loses her daughter to the psycho Red Rabbit. Can Police Central find the girl in time-alive? And is it really a random, senseless kidnapping in the fifty-million-plus city?

There are a million victims and perpetrators in this High-Tech, Low-Life World. This is one of those stories...before we meet our private eye (and unlikely hero), Cruz, in the soon-to-be-released, debut novel, Liquid Cool.
