    About this ebook

    A police procedural thriller ripped from future headlines!

    “...packed with action and unexpected developments...fast-paced, entertaining...” – Kirkus Reviews

    “...a great story that blended a couple genres together beautifully. I easily fell into the story and didn’t want to quit until it abruptly ended. I’m really glad that I have the next book in the series. I can’t wait to see what Jake, EC, and Maddie get into next.” – J.D. Bronder Book Reviews (4 of 5 Stars)

    “The pace of the book was fast and there were several interesting characters to meet along the way...You’d better take a deep breath before you dive into this one.” –Frank Frission Reviews (4 of 5 Stars)

    After Jake shoots and kills a murder suspect who turns out to be the son of a powerful city councilman, he finds himself demoted to the Artificial Crimes Unit, tracking down androids hacked and programmed to be hit men.

    When his case of an “extra-judicial” divorce settlement takes a nasty turn with DNA from a hundred-year-old murder in Boston and a signature that harkens back to the very first serial killer ever in London, Jake finds himself tangled up in the brutal slayings of prostitutes being investigated by his former Robbery/Homicide partner, Maddie–who is now his lover.

    "It might not make sense, but the beloved Media tags it 'Murder by Munchausen.' For a price, there are hackers out there who will reprogram a synthoid to do your dirty work. The bad news: no fingerprints or DNA left at the crime scene. The good news—at least for us—is that they’re like missiles: once they hit their target, they’re usually as harmless as empty brass. The trick is to get them before they melt down their core OS data, so you can get the unit into forensics for analysis and, hopefully, an arrest." [excerpt from Murder by Munchausen #1]

    Artificial Evil has a name...Munchausen.

      A little different from what I normally read. Have enjoyed reading. Makes it seem possible for our own future.
    • 4/5
      WHAT A STORY AND WHAT AN ENDING, NOW I MUST READ THE REST!! Sometime in the future, Detectives of the Artificial Crimes Unit, had to track down hackers who programmed the robots to killed unsuspecting humans in a vicious and terrible way. Jake and his new partner EC were on the case, but their clues to the hacker were unbelievable!
    • 4/5
      A futuristic crime solving story that can be confusing at times. A complex fast paced book with very interesting characters. An interesting future concept that was an enjoyable read. I would recommend this book to anyone into future science fiction.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. It is a futuristic crime solving story. The book has interesting and plausible characters. The story is believable. From the first page of this book, you are hooked into the world of robots. I fear this book is a prelude of our future. I enjoyed the story and would highly recommend it. Am looking forward to the next book in the series.
