Please Do Not Ask for Mercy As a Refusal Often Offends
Much Wenlock : Lightning Books, 2020.
Format: Book
Description: 320 pages ; 20 cm
Detective Kilroy is assigned to investigate a horrible murder. He's a fine cop, from the brim of his hat to the soles of his brogues, but his inquiries, far from solving the mystery, lead him into a deeper one--and to Cynthia, an enigmatic woman with a secret that could overturn Kilroy's entire world. And where is this world? It seems both familiar and strange, with electric cars, but no digital devices, and the audience for a public execution arriving by tram. Meanwhile, the seas are retreating, and the Church exerts an iron grip on society--and history. Power belongs to those who control the narrative. Kilroy is forced to take sides between the Kafkaesque state that pays his wages, and the truth-seekers striving to destroy it, all the while becoming increasingly besotted with a woman who may only love him for his mind--in an alarmingly literal way.
