THE FIRST AUDIOBOOK IN THE BRIDGE SERIES
San Francisco in the nearish future.
Ex-cop Berry Rydell's lost one job he didn't much like and landed another he likes even less. Some sunglasses - actually high-end kit infused with super-sensitive data - were stolen from a courier, and a man named Warbaby's been charged with retrieving them. And Warbaby needs Rydell's help.
But, with SFPD Homicide involved, an abandoned bridge populated by freaks and misfits, and some weirdness involving the Republic of Desire and a 'Death Star', it's turning out to be a very strange and dangerous scene indeed . . .
Can Rydell navigate this unsteady reality in time to save the city . . . and himself?
'Doesn't come any more stylish than this' Sunday Telegraph 'Audacious, witty and passionate. A wonderful read' Observer
