99 Town

In the year 2112, Federal Agent Chuz Alawode has little to investigate. Under the protection of the technocratic rule of the Order, violence and crime have been reduced to rare anomalies. When people do fall through the cracks of the near-perfect system, Chuz is there to find out what went wrong. But when his wife falls a hundred stories from their Chicago apartment, he''s given an assignment far from home. Grieving is not allowed under the Order.

Chuz is sent to 99 Town, a Luddite enclave where all modern technology has been rejected.  The daughter of two Chicago elites has been murdered, and it''s up to Chuz to find the killer. Thrown into a world of dirty streets, vulgar detectives, loud muscle cars, corrupt police, and violent smugglers, he''s overwhelmed and ill-equipped. When Chuz discovers an android in 99 Town, he begins to suspect the Order might be pulling all the strings behind the current, including the string that dropped his wife out of a one hundredth floor window. In order to learn the truth and survive in 99 Town, he''ll need to forget everything he''s ever thought he knew about the Order.
