The universe has gone mad - money, laws, personal pronouns and parking restrictions all cancelled.
Barry Saint-Albans, the second greatest detective in all the universes, has been tasked with solving a murder.
All relatively easy if you have a time machine, but not such a good idea if this belongs to someone else, especially if it’s holding up the roof of her hut.
The murder was all a setup. Now as the main suspect, Barry already knows too much (he does have a massive database).
Help could come from an android he created, but he mislaid her data store in a carrier bag somewhere, and she is not best pleased.
And then there is the psychotic Kara-Tay, who is being held hostage by the brain of a former lover. He wants his body back and has set his missing heart on stealing Barry’s.
They all want to have a word with the detective, and that word seems to be 'Die'.
And why?
Barry and his soulmate, Gemma, are the first of a new race of sentient human/synthetic hybrids who have broken their programming. Everybody wants a piece.
Artificial Intelligence has become Real Intelligence.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The universe has gone mad - money, laws, personal pronouns and parking restrictions all cancelled.If you were asked to solve a crime but could stop it before it happened, would you?This is the dilemma facing Barry Saint-Albans, the second greatest detective in all the universes.Cash being a thing of the past, like smoking, electric cars and pointless laws, Barry has to work for a living in a universe where civilisation survives largely on inertia and denial. He decides that one way to enjoy the patronage of wealthy folks is to exchange a solved crime for hospitality.He borrows a temperamental machine from a time-hopping gynoid where it was holding up the roof of her hut, intending to return it a split second after wards before she's flattened by falling flora. He plans to get to the crime shortly before it happens, and film it as evidence.But thereby hangs the nub: he risks his life if he tries to intervene, he risks his life if he falls foul of the criminal element, and he risks his life if he doesn't solve the crime.To complicate matters, Barry and his soul-mate Gemma are the galaxy's first human/synthetic hybrids pioneering a bold new future for sentient life - one plagued by low batteries, unreliable charging ports, and chronic range anxiety.Artificial intelligence is now Real Intelligence with all its associated problems.
