The Complete Adventures of Benedict Trius

By Riley Stephen Meachem

Benedict Trius is a burnout. Benedict Trius is a hero. Ben is a killer, a monster and a fiend. Ben is a martyr, a saint, a diamond in the rough. You can say a lot of things about the disgruntled Ex-cop making his home in the urban sprawl of Post-war Baltimore. But in a Nietzschean world where the unjust is the norm, where right and wrong tend to just be words the survivors use to justify themselves, and pulling the trigger is the only thing standing between you and a chilly night on a slab, the truth can be harder to fathom than just the facts. An amoral investigator with delusions of valor, Benedict finds himself on cases that have become so commonplace, the world has forgotten how absurd and shocking they really are. But between clowns, killings, comas, call-girls, peace, pain, paternity, prosperity, and guilt born memories of war, Ben is forced to ask deeper and more difficult questions than the simple 'whodunit?' He is called instead to examine humanity itself. In an oxymoronic age that was both America's greatest and most barbaric, Trius is an inept detective and wanton brute, trying to unearth the answers to questions no one else will ask.
