A Cut Below

Kapamentis Crime, Book 1

Is mankind on the menu?

Meet Thaddeus Cutter. He's a two-bit private detective struggling to get by on Kapamentis – a high-tech alien metropolis whose citizens consider humans little more than vermin. There's no sun, it rains all the time, and business is so bad he can't even afford the rent.

When a young woman turns up dead in an alley with her organs carved out, he jumps at the chance to make some credits. If he can stop a killer with a deadly appetite along the way, all the better. But the deeper he digs, the harder the city pushes back… and everything unravels in a far more sinister direction than even Thaddeus could have predicted.

Can Thaddeus cut short this string of grisly murders? Or will he become the latest human to fall through the cracks of Kapamentis?
