About this ebook
Homicide detective Hank Proctor comes face to face with a beautiful, but deadly killer: Cybernetic Service Unit #33B. Known on the streets as The Velveteen, she stands accused of murder--her victim, an innocent little girl named Janie. She does not hide her crime, but instead confesses to the brutal murder without hesitation, raising the question: Is it murder when a cyb ends a human life? Her story, if true, is compelling enough to tear down the most powerful cybernetics company in the world.
