A hardboiled detective. A planet with no crime. A killer that hides in the dark between stars.
Los Angeles homicide detective Wade Cutter thought he knew every kind of murder the city could throw at him-until a white beam of light ripped him out of a rainy alley and dropped him onto an alien world desperate for the one thing it had never needed before: a cop.
Los Angeles homicide detective Wade Cutter thought he knew every kind of murder the city could throw at him-until a white beam of light ripped him out of a rainy alley and dropped him onto an alien world desperate for the one thing it had never needed before: a cop.
On Ylliria, a peaceful civilization beneath twin red suns is facing its first serial killer. Seventeen citizens are dead. There are no weapons, no suspects, no blood, and no crime scenes left untouched by grief. To the Yllirians, violence is unthinkable. To Cutter, that makes them sitting ducks.
Armed with a trench coat upgraded by alien science, a Colt that learns to throw lightning, and a painfully literal robot partner named Willie, Cutter follows a trail of vanished memories, green-black residue, and impossible corpses into a conspiracy stretching from the mirrored cities of Ylliria back to the shadowed streets of Los Angeles.
Because the thing stalking the innocent isn't just killing.
It's mapping fear.
Blending classic noir grit with pulpy science fiction, alien horror, dry humor, and buddy-cop banter, The Borrowed Badge is a fast-paced mystery adventure for readers who like trench coats, ray guns, strange worlds, sharp dialogue, and detectives too stubborn to let death close the case.
When murder crosses the stars, one borrowed badge may be all that stands between Earth and the dark.
