“Duke couldn’t blink. No words came from his mouth. Finally, he took a long deep breath, but the air in his lungs was frozen. His throat hurt when he swallowed. The more he looked at The Ghost, the more impossible it became to force his gaze in another direction. He’d seen those eyes before. He knew it in a place so deep inside that the feeling was without question. The Ghost wore an expression that no one could ever forget. It was the face of death. Duke Garvey was seeing the eyes of a nightmare from some time long before he was born.” Duke Garvey, a Jamaican-born detective newly promoted to the 84th Homicide squad in Brooklyn, NY never gave much thought to his Rastafarian upbringing. Yet on his second day as a detective, he meets an aging cop whose father was murdered by a serial killer, and the unsettling encounter triggers the chilling belief in Duke that he was the killer in a past life. Struggling to unravel the truth at the risk of his career and girlfriend, he's drawn deeper into a twisted web of murder and mystery that threatens to consume him.

K47 is a robot who is becoming human against his wishes. Unable to complete his programming due to the metamorphosis, the robot finds himself in a battle with an emotion chip, the law, and the very people who stand to profit from his mission. He’ll have his day in court to fight for legal rights for androids, but surviving the challenge may be too much for his system to bear. The LEU’s purpose was to finalize contracts, pay any outstanding debts, and see to the dispersal of funds to the heirs. For those who could afford the seven-figure price and thousands of dollars of monthly maintenance, it was the perfect way to guarantee their empire would be dealt with in a manner consistent with their desires and lifestyle. Lawyers could interpret a person’s Last Will and Testament as they saw fit. Even a probate judge could rule that a certain statement had several meanings and then choose the one he liked best. An android was a machine with a program. It only had the ability to see issues as either black or white. Gray was not an option. Until now.
