Evan Delaney is the protagonist of Meg Gardiner’s darkly atmospheric crime fiction series, known for its relentless, morally ambiguous detectives operating in a near-future, hyper-urban landscape. The novels employ a fractured, nonlinear narrative style, mirroring the psychological trauma of the characters and immersing readers in a world of corporate corruption and technological surveillance. Gardiner’s distinctive approach creates a suspenseful and unsettling exploration of identity and justice in a decaying society.
