The Automatic Detective

I've read a couple other books by Martinez and wasn't disappointed. He writes a fun, fast-moving story and likes to tweak genres in a playful manner. With this one, it's a marriage of science fiction (robots, mutations) and crime noir (our hero, Mack Megaton is a robot cab-driver turned detective). Here, he's on the hunt for some missing neighbors and there's more than meets the eye. It's a good story and light reading which suited my mood.
