The universe has gone mad - money, laws, personal pronouns and parking restrictions all cancelled. Barry Saint-Albans, the second greatest detective in all the universes, has been tasked with solving a murder. All relatively easy if you have a time machine, but not such a good idea if this belongs to someone else, especially if it's holding up the roof of her hut. The murder was all a setup. Now as the main suspect, Barry already knows too much (he does have a massive database).
Help could come from an android he created, but he mislaid her data store in a carrier bag somewhere, and she is not best pleased. And then there is the psychotic Kara-Tay, who is being held hostage by the brain of a former lover. He wants his body back and has set his missing heart on stealing Barry's. They all want to have a word with the detective, and that word seems to be 'Die'. And why?Barry and his soulmate, Gemma, are the first of a new race of sentient human/synthetic hybrids who have broken their programming.
Everybody wants a piece. Artificial Intelligence has become Real Intelligence.

Biographie de Robert Wingfield

Robert Wingfield used to sleep in the technology department of a large organisation between 9 and 5 each day, (except on Fridays when they woke him at 4 and sent him home early), but he finally got tired with this taxing routine and left his job for good. A prolific writer, to date he has over twenty works, electronically and in paperback, available through various outlets-all can be tracked through www.robertwingfieldauthor.co.uk.
His work covers several genres:Satirical sci-fi novels, 'The Dan Provocations', hopefully having you laughing out loud (or cringing, when you realize how closely satire matches reality). Gothic chillers in the form of the 'Ankerita' series (The Seventh House) featuring a Tudor anchoress reborn in modern times. Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.
Other short stories with a supernatural flavor ('The Black Dog of Peel' is free for you on this site). For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.
For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it. For those struggling authors, he runs The Inca Project, a set of free resources to help you get your works into print. He also provides formatting and editing services through the project, to ensure you get the best result from your masterpiece.
See www.incaproject.co.ukHe has written many reviews on management books and was a member of the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers when he was working and could afford the subscriptions. His other interests include digital forensics, nature and building conservation, photography, and resisting emotional blackmail from his Labrador. Favorite quotes:Don't give up your day job...
whoops too late.(Robert Wingfield)
