So when he's called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he's surprised by the routineness of it all. But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim--Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie--is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn't look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan--one of this dystopian, near-future society's genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal's thing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are only a few thousand Titans worldwide, thanks to Stefan Tonfamecasca's discovery of the controversial T7 genetic therapy, which elevated his family to godlike status. T7 turns average humans into near-immortal distortions of themselves--with immense physical proportions to match their ostentatious, unreachable lifestyles. A dead Titan is big news . . . a murdered Titan is unimaginable. But these modified magnates are Cal's specialty. In fact, his own ex-girlfriend, Athena, is a Titan. And not just any--she is Stefan's daughter, heir to the massive Tonfamecasca empire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the murder investigation intensifies, Cal begins to unravel the complicated threads of what should have been a straightforward case, and it becomes clear he's on the trail of a crime whose roots run deep into the dark heart of the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNICK HARKAWAY is the author of four previous novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Gone-Away World, Angelmaker, Tigerman, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGnomon, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as a nonfiction work about digital culture, \u003ci\u003eThe Blind Giant: Being Human in a Digital World\u003c\/i\u003e.
