    About this ebook

    Another murder.
    Another gangland assassination.
    Another case tied up int he battle for control of the body modification technology called Clockwork.
    Blaze Tuesday, an ex-cop turned private eye, thought he'd washed his hands of the gangland turmoil and mafia struggles when he'd closed the Five Points Murders. Instead, solving the death of the doctor helping kids in Hell's Kitchen who are addicted to body modification surgery only got him tangled up deeper in the mess of it all.

    When a known mafia doctor on loan from the mob in Boston shows up dead in Hell's Kitchen, Blaze Tuesday is warned not to get involved. He's willing to stand back and let the cops take over this one, but soon his coroner girlfriend, Kali Mason, is caught in the crossfire and everything Blaze thought he knew is questioned as his carefully curated world of moral blacks and whites begins to crumble around him.

    Will Blaze be able to stop the hostile takeover of the mobsters and the Hell's Kitchen gangs? Or will he, and everyone he loves get caught up in the hostile takeover?

    Author

    Kai Kiriyama

    A writer of many things and many genres, Kai is currently working on a novel (you can pretty much always assume that she's writing something!) that involves murder, mayhem and probably a ghost or some other form of otherworldly creature. She is also working on some non-fiction but she's not entirely sure why. Kai has been writing for far too long and she's convinced that both her "to be read" and "to be written" lists will never be completed before she dies. She has a diploma in palmistry and can read hands with an accuracy that most people don't expect. She is also accomplished at tea leaf reading and crystal divination, both of which she has also achieved a diploma for and scares herself with the accuracy of the things she has predicted. A time-travelling, demon hunting, Asgardian geek, with an affinity for Pokemon and Shakespeare, you can be sure that there will be general insanity and dubious wisdom dispensed no matter where you chat with her. As always, she requests that you "be excellent to each other" while she's away. Kai currently lives in Canada, but if she told you where, you'd have about fifteen seconds to assume the party position before the special ops team arrives. She can be reached by email at kai@theraggedyauthor.com You can find Kai on twitter @RaggedyAuthor You can also find Kai on her website www.theraggedyauthor.com
