Summary
Summary
DEPTH follows private investigator Simone Pierce in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan submerged and surrounded by unforgiving ocean. Only the tallest skyscrapers are still habitable, fortified by cutting-edge Plasteel and connected by a network of bridges and boats (ranging from hyper-lux to barely seaworthy). A routine case turns into a deadly one and Simone finds herself in the middle of the city's most powerful factions, vying for control of what remains beneath the deadly waters. DEPTH is where Phillip K. Dick meets Raymond Chandler--a post-apocalyptic noir of intrigue, betrayal, romance and violence. Lev AC Rosen is the author of the critically acclaimed ALL MEN OF GENIUS (Tor, 2011). Little Brown Books for Young Readers will publish Rosen's middle grade book WOUNDABOUT in Summer 2015." Phaidon, a publisher best known for its lavishly produced art books, hired Judith Regan as the CEO of a new division at the company called Regan Arts. DEPTH is the lead fiction title for the imprint's Spring 2015 launch.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“I have long admired Lev Rosen’s strange, genre-bending work—his riff on the detective story is elegant, surprising, and, yes, deep.” —Dan Chaon, New York Times bestselling author
“An enthralling murder mystery set in an intriguing world…Dive in.” —Sun (London)
“Rosen has written an intrigue-laden detective story that takes advantage of the setting’s mystique…Secrets flow like the tide, everybody is hiding something, and trust can get you killed.” —Science Fiction Book Club
“Simone is a female detective in the Kinsey Millhone and V. I. Warshawski mold: tough, tenacious, and pragmatic.” —Library Journal
“Celeste Ciulla’s narration is fast moving and engaging. She highlights the relationships between Simone and her high-powered best friend, the deputy mayor; her psychic friend, who helps solve her case; and her new client, who tries to wine and dine her. Ciulla ably portrays the facets of Simone’s character that each of those characters draws out. She vividly depicts the personas of the ancillary characters as well—from the power brokers of the city to their fastidious executive assistants.” —AudioFile
“Heinlein meets Hammett in this whip-smart whodunnit set amid the billowing fog and rising waters of a future New York.” —Chuck Greaves, author of Hush Money
