Only his usual investigative work - catching cheating spouses, and small time con artists - is about to take a turn.

Fascinating view of the future

This is a well written story. It seems like a detective story initially and I was struggling to see when the sci-fi underpinnings would be revealed. But they were and deftly. The whole concept is very interesting and the tension builds over time. Definitely recommended.
