An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times "Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen "In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly

In the times of the transhumans… The human upgrade economy is in full swing. Life has never been better. “What did people do before you could be anything you wanted to be?” asks Doc Holiday’s assistant. “I have no idea. Must have been a hell of an existence,” she replies. Doc Holiday is the Sister Theresa of her times, handing out new leases on life to military vets with PTSD, and new limbs in the form of cybernetic enhancements. From her seat at the head of New York’s premier upgrade hospital, she oversees all chiphead implants. She also supervises the advancements to mindchips that allow humans to adapt to any new task on the fly in order to keep up with a supercharged economy driven by the chipheads themselves. But the chipheads who have officially kicked off Singularity, a time characterized most of all by a post-exponential rate of change, unwittingly open the lid on Pandora’s Box. The question is, can she and her long-term on and off again lover, private dick, Rake Madden, close the lid in time before the runaway effects destroy them all? With the most advanced mindchip ever made, created for him by the open-source coalition, Rake devotes himself to unearthing conspiracies against the public interest. He fears unscrupulous individuals and coalitions are finding it ironically easy to get the best of the upgraded humans who delight too much in creating new worlds to worry much about who’s in charge of this one and what they’re doing to the present. That’s the loophole that needs closing if Singularity is not to become a progressive Apocalypse.
