THE ELECTRIC DETECTIVE

Anneka Freeman

Victoria City is a metropolis in the clouds; the solar-powered heart of human civilization, but to a newly arrived immigrant like Hana Moss, it's just overwhelming. The struggling med student from the Red Colony is desperate for a roommate, and she finds one in Hols Keller.
Unfortunately, Keller turns out to be a difficult roommate: she hogs the data cloud, plays music at all hours, and as a student detective, she sometimes invites murderers into their living room. Plus, she's a cyborg. Moss soon gets swept up in her roommate's crime-solving adventures, which carry the odd pair up to luxury resorts in outer space, and down into the haunting, sunken ruins of Old London. But living life on the edge soon catches up with Keller in a big way, and Moss is the only one who can save the detective from herself.
This gripping sci-fi/detective adventure is a fresh take on the familiar Sherlock-Watson characters. Anneka Freeman envisions a bright but dangerous solarpunk future that gleefully blurs the line between human and machine and, imagines a London of the future that literally rises above the ruins of an environmental disaster.

Anneka was rasied in Northern Virginia, in a Pre-Revolutionary log cabin. Writing was her first love and continues to be her main obsession (followed closely by Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and British Literature).
She got her BA from Randolph-Macon Woman's College and majored in Political Science and Creative Writing with Honors. After that, Anneka ran her own small antiques business before moving to the UK, where she got her MA in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University. Since then, she has returned to North
Virginia.
