Near future, New York. First novel. Cover by Peter Gudynas (US trade pbk edition).
"A cross between William Gibson and The Alienist, this riveting novel combines the near future and the distant past into what is likely to become the cyber-thriller of the year. Alex Munn is a disillusioned New York television writer who, frustrated with his pointless life, becomes immersed in an 1850s virtual Manhattan, where he plays a lone cop on the trail of a vicious serial killer called the Fishman. A safe fantasy -- until his wily nemesis somehow finds a way to escape his computer prison and enter the present day." [promotional blurb, US trade pbk, 1996]
