A new science fiction thriller from the bestselling author of the Shadows in the Water series.

In the meticulously controlled world of Zone 2, Commander Grace Buteo has dedicated her life to keeping citizens safe from cybercrime, terrorism, and threats from the outer zones. But when an IED meant for Grace kills her husband and son, her belief in the city she protects begins to fracture.

Desperate for purpose, Grace immerses herself in a high-profile investigation: the theft of twenty-six artificial organs from a powerful genetic engineering corporation. What begins as a routine case soon exposes cracks in the city’s perfect façade—and raises unsettling questions about the people closest to her.

For fans of Philip K. Dick’s provocative science fiction and J.D. Robb’s In Death series, The City Below is a gripping blend of mystery, technology, and moral suspense.

This complete boxset includes all seven of the Amazon bestselling Dying for a Living novels: Dying for a Living, Dying by the Hour, Dying for Her: A Companion Novel, Dying Light, Worth Dying For, Dying Breath and Dying Day.

On the morning before her 67th death, it is business as usual for agent Jesse Sullivan: meet with the mortician, counsel soon-to-be-dead clients, and have coffee while reading the latest regeneration theory. Jesse dies for a living, literally. Because of a neurological disorder, she can serve as a death surrogate, dying so others don’t have to. Although each death replacement is different, the result is the same: a life is saved, and Jesse resurrects days later with sore muscles, new scars, and another hole in her memory. But when Jesse is murdered and becomes the sole suspect in a federal investigation, more than her freedom and sanity are at stake.

She must catch the killer herself–or die trying. And that was only the beginning…

Called “smart, imaginative, and insanely addictive” by New York Times bestseller Darynda Jones, this series is perfect for readers looking for a “unique” and “totally original” experience.
