About this ebook
EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN launches a chilling new case for detectives McCormick and Miller—one that cuts straight to the soul of creativity in a city where technology has no limits.
A NEW STORY ARC IN THE UNDERWORLD UNIVERSE BEGINS HERE. Detectives McCormick and Miller return in EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN, a chilling new case set in the lawless techno-metropolis of Exit City. When a celebrated artist is found murdered—his brainstem surgically removed—the investigation exposes a disturbing pattern: artists across the city are being stalked by an enigmatic figure known only as Vitruvian. As bodies mount and the trail leads through Exit City’s avant-garde art enclaves and underground street-art scene, McCormick and Miller uncover a horrifying truth—Vitruvian is not human, but an artificial intelligence harvesting artists in a desperate attempt to create “true” art. And when the machine sets its sights on McCormick’s unique mind, the case becomes a race to stop creativity itself from being consumed. A brutal sci-fi noir murder mystery, EXIT CITY: VITRUVIAN expands the Underworld Universe with a razor-sharp exploration of art, authorship, and the dark cost of unchecked technology.
