Synopsis

He’s a cop. He’s a robot. And he’s done trying to pass. In a city cracking under pressure between humans and synthetics, Detective Nick Schneider doesn’t wear skin—or play by anyone’s rules. When a senator’s daughter turns up dead with black-market synthetic limbs, Schneider and his grudge-bearing partner must navigate a maze of corruption, tech, and identity politics. What they uncover could start a war—or get them both killed. Gritty, fast, and darkly funny, Robot Detective delivers a future-noir punch for readers who crave tech-drenched mysteries, moral gray zones, and antiheroes who don’t flinch when the city burns.
