Synopsis - 2086: Within the domed city known only as Desolation, art is crime & crime is art, and DCI Dominic Rexford finds himself revolting in the best way he can; educating his fellow dissenters on how to get away with crime. But when his grand designs threaten repercussions to a child of this society, his crimes cross the point of no return and he dives into the criminal underworld. Will he solve a murder before it happens? Or will his involvement send him spiralling into insanity? One question remains on his mind though; who will stand in his way? His ex-lover, the drug queen Helena Von Triksenstein, or perhaps off-grid art-criminal Noel Noname? Maybe even Party loyalist Selena "Patsy" Patricks, or the dubious hotelier Mr. Touchshriek? (Inspired by and based on elements of the concept album "1. Outside" by David Bowie.)

Someone stole the Weeping Widow. The priceless artwork is gone, ripped from its place on the wall and leaving only broken glass behind. The pride of Whitehill Museum and Art Gallery fell victim to heists in the night, and the museum is determined to find the painting and nail the culprit. She's been labelled the main suspect after being found at the scene of the crime. He's been hired to protect Whitehill and keep the rest of the art safe. Both with a job to do at the museum, and both determined to fix broken reputations. But the biggest question of all haunts the exhibits they roam: who stole the Weeping Widow? They painted her the villain. He's learning art is open for interpretation. -------------------------- "Art is to be seen, not touched." His breath curled next to my ear. "But I'd do anything to touch you." "Are you saying I'm art?" My heart knew no limit as it pulsed in my throat, right where his lips began to hover. "As beautiful as what hangs in the Louvre, and just as forbidden to touch." Disclaimer: all works depicted above the chapters are real works, and some real works are mentioned throughout.
