Juno is a dirty cop... Juno Mozambe works the steamy streets of Lagarto, a failed colony world rotten with economic and moral decay. Once feared as the corrupt police chief's bare-knuckled enforcer, he is now a collections man, taking a cut from all the action-prostitution, gambling, drugs. Burdened by the weight of decades of brutal misdeeds, he considers himself retired from his violent past. But when an army lieutenant is found dead outside a whorehouse, stabbed fourteen times and ritualistically mutilated, Juno's former partner, Chief Chang, calls in a favor. He assigns Juno to the case and inexplicably partners him up with the earnest but inexperienced Maggie Orzo. Together, Juno and Maggie must untangle the twisted web spun by a ruthless serial killer, a vicious crime lord, and a mysterious offworlder. To discover the truth, they'll have to expose Lagarto's darkest secrets, and all before Juno's past comes crashing into the present.

"Gritty and steamy, Hammond's "KOP" is both a throwback to the glory days of hard-boiled action thrillers and a prescient vision of the next place where technology and human frailties will intersect. Its blood-specked armor-plating gradually---and impressively--reveals a genuine heart." --K.W. Jeter, bestselling author of "Bladerunner 2: The Edge of Human"
Warren Hammond lives in Denver, Colorado, where he's working on a sequel, "EX-KOP."
