This "unique and memorable" blend of futuristic dystopia and dark detective story features "one of the more offbeat characters in fiction" (
Booklist).
In this "uncannily original" series, the man known as Dewey Decimal works in a near-future Manhattan decimated by terrorism and plague, running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard-though he'd prefer to spend his time among the stacks at his beloved New York Public Library (Laura Lippman). When Dewey is tasked with disrupting unrest from a growing group of outcast civilians, and simultaneously given the assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is forced to look within and make some impossible choices-and it will put him at odds with his benefactor and the powers that be. . .
"A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles Stross." -
Kirkus Reviews
"Dewey is an unlikely hero, a gimpy, smart-mouthed loner, obsessed with a brand-name hand sanitizer. His indomitable spirit and his distinctive ghetto-infused, educated patter give Larson's series its unique and spicy character." -
Publishers Weekly
"One of the finest (and weirdest) thriller trilogies ever." -
