The surface of the earth is empty, the Children of Man occupying the many virtual worlds of the net instead. Their experiences and sensations flow through commercial optical pathways beneath the ground like electricity through neurons. It is in this place that we meet the few who would rather just disconnect. A detective who spends more time battling his depressive demons then solving crime looks for the identity of a victim found in an abandoned place. A battered virtual prostitute haunted by the anonymous clients she's met on the net looks for an escape. A hacker working for a mysterious rebel faction pursues a woman consumed by her past. In the city of New Babel, the last human city, the story of these three lives will be connected and interwoven by one selfless act of love.All Rights Reserved

SHADOWS OF SILENCE by anonymous_shiv7

In the city of Blackford, a sadistic serial killer is abducting young women, subjecting them to brutal rape before murdering them and leaving their bodies abandoned in public places. The police are left with no leads, no clear pattern, and no answers. Detective Vincent Reid, a young but experienced investigator, is appointed to head the case. He's joined by Lara Mitchell, a rookie detective eager to prove herself despite the overwhelming nature of the crimes. As the killings continue, the two detectives must confront the horror of the crimes while navigating their own personal demons. There are no cryptic messages, no hidden clues-just brutal violence and a rising body count. The killer is a methodical predator who has left no trace behind, and each murder is more horrifying than the last. As the investigation grows darker, Vincent and Lara discover a terrifying connection between the victims and a powerful, corrupt network in the city. They must race against time to stop the killer before another woman is taken, while grappling with the disturbing realization that the person responsible may be someone closer to them than they ever imagined.
