    About this series

    Detective Avinash Singh is dying by degrees.

     

    Outcast from his people, on the lam, and stricken by a deadly plague, Detective Singh survives on the fringes by his keen wits, quick draw, and cool silver tongue.

    When a slick grifter hires the hard-boiled sleuth to locate a missing kid, a desperate search leads him through a maze of deceit and murder. But unraveling threads and digging up long-buried skeletons sets powerful forces clambering for his head.

    Can the streetwise gumshoe withstand the endless onslaught long enough to locate the missing kid, and if he does, will he wish he hadn't?

    The Clarity of Cold Steel is a gripping steampunk detective thriller.

    If you like gritty heroes, twisty thrillers, and hard-boiled sleuths, you'll love The Clarity of Cold Steel.

    Gain some clarity and buy the steampunk thriller today.

    Kevin Wright

    About the Author Kevin Wright studied writing at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell and fully utilized his bachelor’s degree by seeking and attaining employment first as a produce clerk and later as an emergency medical technician and firefighter. His parents were thrilled. For decades now he has studied a variety of martial arts but steadfastly remains not-tough in any way, shape, or form. He just likes to pay money to get beat up, apparently. Kevin Wright peaked intellectually in the seventh grade. He enjoys reading a little bit of everything and writing sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. He does none of it well. Revelations, his debut novel, is a Lovecraftian horror tale. GrimNoir is a collection of his best short stories, and Lords of Asylum is an insane detective fantasy. His mom really likes all of them even though she’s never read any of them and wonders continually why he can’t just write anything ‘nice.’ Kevin Wright continues to write in his spare time and is currently working on a new full length novel.
