Midnight, Water City

Welcome to Water City: a world of seascrapers, floating prisons, organ farms, and murder.

Year 2142: Earth is forty years past a near-collision with the asteroid Sesshoseki. Akira Kimura, the scientist responsible for eliminating the threat, has reached heights of celebrity approaching deification. But now, Akira feels her safety is

under threat, so after years without contact, she reaches out to her former head of security, who has since become a police detective.

When he arrives at her deep-sea home and finds Akira methodically dismembered, this detective will risk everything—his career, his family, even his own life—to delve back into his shared past with Akira and find her killer.

Midnight, Water City is a thrilling neo-noir procedural and a profound exploration of climate change, inequality, and the dark sacrifices we are willing to make in the name of progress.
