She looks human in every way on the outside, but dreads the thought of what lies beneath her skin. Her role as a field agent for Division 9 has exposed her to depravity unlike anything she thought possible. Building darkness clings to her heart, until a tiny orphan girl reminds her that more than a body defines humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new case falls in Nina\u2019s lap when electronic evidence links Harmony, a fast-spreading new recreational drug, to a foreign government. She hopes for a nice \u2018normal\u2019 investigation that won\u2019t blacken another slice of her soul. The straightforward case turns into a balancing act as she exposes an infestation of enemy agents within West City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the spies see her coming or if she takes too long finding them all, a drug meant to provide peace of mind may bring about the downfall of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Series:<\/strong> Virtual Immortality (2)<br><strong>Genre:<\/strong> DF Universe, cyberpunk, dystopian<br><strong>Intended audience:<\/strong> 18+<br><strong>Available from:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07GXWQR9L\">Amazon <\/a>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books\/signed-paperback-copies\/\">Signed Paperback<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/books-gallery\/\">Return to Books Main<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matthewcoxbooks.com\/wordpress\/series-list\/\">Go to Series List<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lieutenant Nina Duchenne has almost come to terms with her life\u2015but isn\u2019t sure she still has one.
