Maison d'édition: BookRix

Synopsis

"In the early 19th century, as the Industrial Revolution was beginning to transform Europe, a majestic steamship known as the 'Lightning Bolt' embarked on its journey from the Old World to the shores of the United States. This luxurious vessel represented not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of opulence and comfort that attracted a select clientele.
The voyage promised to be an unforgettable journey, a experience of luxury and comfort through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. However, what no one could anticipate was that this voyage would become a labyrinth of secrets, intrigues, and mysteries that would shake the wealthy passengers and the crew of the Lightning Bolt.
Amidst a gala dinner in the ship's opulent salon, a sudden electrical interruption plunged the diners into the deepest darkness. When the lights returned, a terrifying scene emerged: the murder of Alana, a wealthy millionaire, and the disappearance of a highly valuable necklace adorning her neck. Tragedy had struck amidst elegance and abundance.
The arrival of the police marked the beginning of an intricate investigation in which a diverse group of suspects, including Alana herself, her friend Arlene, the waitress Ciara, the waiter Colin, and other notable characters such as detectives Callum and Aidan, the ship's manager Declan, and the affluent Ronan, would be subjected to scrutiny.
Throughout this tale, hidden secrets within the bowels of the Lightning Bolt will be unveiled as the detectives struggle to uncover the murderer and solve the mystery of the missing necklace. Tensions will rise, conflicts will ignite, and an unexpected twist will lead to a deadly conclusion in a final confrontation filled with suspense."

Motherless Children - With...

M.T. Bass

Just when you thought you could trust the robots again… 
A senator's son is strangled by a synthoid in AsiaTown and, just like two other victims, tattooed with an indecipherable barcode. 
Jake and Kim, his new partner, battle political corruption, the Chinese Triad, and Internal Affairs, discovering a disturbing Fourth Law of Robotics as they decode the tattoos to stop the deviant series of murders. 
"It might not make sense, but the beloved Media tags it 'Murder by Munchausen.' For a price, there are hackers out there who will reprogram a synthoid to do your dirty work. The bad news: no fingerprints or DNA left at the crime scene. The good news—at least for us—is that they’re like missiles: once they hit their target, they’re usually as harmless as empty brass. The trick is to get them before they melt down their core OS data, so you can get the unit into forensics for analysis and, hopefully, an arrest." [excerpt from Murder by Munchausen]

Artificial Evil has a name…Munchausen.
