About this ebook

Roman Rasnic, 'fixer' and felon, is in love. This is probably to be expected. Love is his business. What he didn't expect was that it would be with someone other than his wife.

Roman - known on the streets as the Black Cat - is the sole dealer and controller of a designer drug known as Cupid, a formula able to emulate and create feelings of true, passionate love. His deals and dosings have made him very rich as well as making him many enemies both within the corporate and the criminal world. The Black Cat is a marked man.

When Roman decides to follow his heart and bail out on a lucrative job, he sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to unravel years of work. His only option may be to bury his newfound conscience before someone buries him.

The Real Thing is a fast paced pulp cyberpunk novel set in a near future Japan where corporate greed runs amok and life is lived on a knife edge. How far would you go for love?
