I thought this was a dead body book, but it is more like a blade runner book.

Steve Mosby is an early pseudonym for Alex North (The Whisper Man) and I believe this was his first published novel under any name. At the start I felt he was trying too hard to shock, but that settled down fairly soon. The plot is unusual, to say the least, set in some unspecified place and time, and about cyber-crime as it was known in 2000 so it's a bit dated now. However, given all that, the quality of the writing, the way he uses words, shines through. I'll definitely read more Mosby while I'm waiting for the next North.
