About this ebook

THE MEANEST STREETS...

James Kincaid is the type of guy who might be described as down on his luck, if only he’d had some luck to begin with. Like so many people in the shadows of Seattle, he’s trying to get by with what he has. In his case, that includes a lively spirit, a sadly diminished magical talent, quick wits, and good knowledge of the twists and turns of the city’s dingy streets and back alleys. He puts all that to the service of whatever clients he can dig up, solving whatever cases they’re willing to pay him to take on. With any luck, he’ll scrape up enough nuyen to buy a round or two of his favorite drink—whiskey, neat.

His latest case seems simple enough—find a girl who’s gone missing. But throw in a couple of feuding megacorporations, a few organized crime families, and a full selection of the odd denizens of Seattle’s streets, and you’ve got a case that’s anything but easy. It’s up to Kincaid to see how many people he can keep alive—including (and especially) himself.

A bit too chauvinist for my taste – the protagonist likes to ogle, and female characters have their appearance described in far more (and sultrier) detail than male ones – but it's stomachable compared to Nigel Findley's writing, which this series was inspired by. Beyond that, it's a fast-paced, pulpy detective thriller with some clever structure devices (I was particularly touched by the prologue) and plot developments, and a pleasant (though, of course, gritty and grungy) chance to soak in the Shadowrun universe for a few hours.

The latest case appears straightforward: locate a missing girl. However, Kincaid's simple search quickly spirals into a complex web of intrigue involving rival megacorporations, organized crime families, and the city’s eclectic and often dangerous inhabitants. This seemingly routine investigation becomes anything but easy as Kincaid delves deeper into the underbelly of Seattle’s shadowy world.
