Ch01 The Man on the Slab
Vampires and various flesh eaters have been paying the bills for authors and film makers for decades. This story features a race of aliens who can sculpt a human body by using their hands to draw ugly fat through the skin and into their bodies. People invite them to cocktail parties and leave the garlic wreaths in the pantry. Just don't get them mad.
This story introduces detective Abe Howard and his talking computer Maija. Maija fits entirely into Abe's eyeglass frames. When she needs some heavy lifting done she links to the Big Olga satellite network.
Chapters will be added as they are completed.
