When New York was hit by a dirty bomb, the city became a burnt-out shell and only the wealthy were able to escape, to a virtual reality quite different from the world around them. Former garbage man, Spademan, lost his wife and his livelihood - in a city comprised entirely of garbage, there's little one man can do. So he became a hit man, clearing up in a whole new way. But now the virtual world is under threat from elite terrorists operating from somewhere in New York and Spademan is tasked with tracking them down. He's not used to having enemies - his foes usually end up dead pretty quickly - but he's about to find out just how close they are, and how dangerous they can be...

Reviews for Near Enemy (#2 Spademan)

Hardboiled as f*** with writing as fierce and sharp as a paper-cut Savage future noir that crackles with deadpan wit Debut novels as sleek, resonant and accomplished as this are a rare gift Dark and often funny, with sparse, sharp language ... This is good, bitter fun Elegant, lean and clever noir Great slice of modern noir - Ian Rankin
