Eventide, Water City / by McKinney, Chris,1973-author.;
"Year 2150: Eight years after the murder of Akira Kimura, Water City's renowned scientist and anointed "God," the nameless antihero who once risked everything to find Akira's killer is no longer a detective, but a stay-at-home dad. While his wife climbs the corporate ladder of the Water City Police Department, he raises his now nine-year-old daughter and occasionally takes the odd job as a bounty hunter. Water City's domestic bliss is threatened when Ascalon's Scar-the permanent mark left by the elimination of Sessho-seki, an asteroid that nearly wiped out life on Earth-vanishes from the sky and a familiar face thought dead returns from the ocean depths to exact revenge on humanity. What follows is a wild journey, both deep below and high above a futuristic Pacific, that takes Water City's antihero from Lucky Cat City (formerly Osaka, Japan) to the moon and back, all to stop the destruction of the last of the human race. Hawaiian author Chris McKinney's cinematic, immersive follow-up to Midnight, Water City explores technology, class, climate change, and the lengths desperate people will go to in order to protect the ones they love"--

Circle in the water / by Muller, Marcia,author.;
"San Francisco is home to more than 200 privately owned streets. Most are alleyways, but a select few look torn straight from the pages of a magazine. Lined with mansions and elaborate gardens, the properties are luxurious and perfectly maintained; security guards patrol the grounds to keep the curious at bay. Few know of these exclusive enclaves, but those who do prowl for availability, ready to make a grab for the precious real estate if opportunity strikes. When several such streets are targeted in a series of so-called pranks, Sharon is hired by a coalition of concerned owners to investigate. But as things escalate - an attempt on Sharon's life, an explosion at a meth lab, and a shocking murder - Sharon realizes far more is at play than a few misdemeanors gone wrong. The case takes a sudden turn when one of McCone & Ripinsky's most trusted employees is implicated, and Sharon will have to dig deep to save her agency - and her life"--
