A Knife in the Dark: A Science Fiction Noir Thriller

Night lasts for days on the planet Jannix, and when the sun goes down over a city brimming with corruption and organized crime, no one can be certain they’ll see another dawn.

Retired police detective Jack Tarelli has turned to the bottle to cope with the long nights ever since the unsolved murder of his wife. But when he's called to the home of an enigmatic starship tycoon just hours after a high-profile homicide, he knows his longest night yet has just begun.

Led on a chase deep into the shadows of a city that never wakes, the hard-nosed and uncompromising Jack finds himself on the trail of a killer whose true motives are shrouded. Was this killing a revenge plot for an interplanetary business deal gone wrong? Or something more personal?

As connections to Jack's own bloody past rise to the surface, it becomes clear that this is more than a search for answers. It's a race against time. And the body count is going to rise long before the sun.

A Knife in the Dark is a gritty tech-noir novel combining elements of "used future" science fiction and film noir in a fast-paced, futuristic thriller.
