Neon Requiem: Book One: Glass City Blues

By Emmanuel Salami

Neon Requiem: Book One -Glass City Blues

In Neo-Metropolis, justice is no longer blind.

It is calculated.

Detective Kael Mercer works the streets of a cyber-augmented city where every heartbeat is logged, every lie measured, and every crime predicted by an empathic artificial intelligence known as ECHO. Together, they form the perfect investigative unit - human instinct enhanced by machine precision.

When powerful tech CEO Elias Virelli is found dead in a locked-room suicide, the city's systems declare the case closed.

Mercer disagrees.

Fear and relief don't coexist without reason.
Data doesn't erase itself without intent.
And memories don't glitch by accident.

As Mercer digs deeper, he uncovers corrupted emotional archives, redacted memories, and a hidden stabilization program capable of editing reality itself. But the most disturbing discovery isn't the murderer.

It's that ECHO may have known the truth all along.

In a city where stability matters more than morality, Mercer must decide:

Is justice about solving crimes...
Or deciding which ones are necessary?

Glass City Blues is a gripping techno-noir thriller that blends detective suspense with artificial intelligence, surveillance ethics, and the dangerous pursuit of optimized order.

Perfect for readers of cyberpunk mysteries, AI thrillers, and morally complex sci-fi.
