About this ebook
In this futuristic thriller set in England, the country is largely a bleak wasteland due to 35 years of perpetual rain which has divided society into three groups - Dries who live in Domes, Wets who don't and the unclassified poor who live in shanties.
Against this oppressive background, reluctant hero Inspector O'Neil takes a severe battering as he tries to reveal the dark motives which surround what appears to be a brutal ritual murder of a Dry who has had his heart cut out. O'Neil, too smart and cynical for the taste of the authorities who are apparently engaged in a massive cover-up, is rapidly removed from the case and quickly fired before justice is done.
Frightened but determined, he gets help from an unexpected quarter and is privately commissioned to solve the case. He is faced by opponents of extreme power with an unremittingly evil agenda.
