In a near-future Baltimore, an unemployed bipolar journalist and a teenage hacker are the last hope for a dystopian world controlled by a giant media corporation.
Detective and noir fiction are major influences in my work. Ed McBain, Raymond Chandler, and Elmore Leonard are favorites, as are Ruth Rendell and Agatha Christie.
